Day of the Dead Cocktails with Tequila Pancho Datos
Wake The Dead Cocktail
With a history and brand identity rooted in over 70 years of Mexican folklore, Tequila Pancho Datos is a premium 100% Blue Weber agave tequila crafted for life’s most memorable occasions.
Pancho Datos was created to honour the legacy of Ricardo Grijalva de León and his stories from the Mexican Revolution and is made using 100% Blue Weber agave that has been grown to maturity in the lowlands of Jalisco. They offer a Plata Tequila and a Reposado Tequila that’s been rested for 10 months in ex-bourbon barrels. There’s more information on the brand in the press pack attached.
In 1947 Ricardo Grijalva de Leon gave life to the character Pancho by writing great poems about his experiences in the Mexican Revolution. These stories became an iconic piece of Mexican literature and two generations later Luis Carlos Grijalva chose to honour his grandfather’s legacy through a proudly Mexican product. Tequila Pancho Datos is the result of this work, a tequila crafted to revive the stories in the book and ignite a passion in others to share their own stories with the world.
Tequila Pancho Datos is created using only Blue Weber agave that has been grown to maturity around the Jalisco town of El Arenal, right in the heart of Mexico’s tequila region. Grown in the lowland valleys of Jalisco, the altitude difference exposes the agaves to less of the Sun’s energy than those grown in the highlands. As a result, the tequila is not quite as sweet and benefits from a complex flavour profile that takes some of its character from the earth around it.
Offendra Old Fashioned Cocktail
Tequila Pancho Datos offers two expressions of tequila: Plata and Reposado. Plata is unaged which gives an unadulterated agave taste, natural and beautifully smooth, Plata offers an exquisite balance of herbal, slightly sweet and peppery notes. Reposado is rested for 10 months in ex-bourbon White Oak casks giving the tequila a perfect blend of agave, vanilla, caramel, and wood flavours.
Crafted for the very best taste, Pancho Datos is an authentic family- run business that exists to ignite a passion in others to tell their stories.
