Cenote

Cenote takes its name and imagery from the limestone sinkholes of the Yucatán Peninsula, even though the tequila itself is made hundreds of kilometres away at the base of the Tequila Volcano in Jalisco. The bottle carries a Mayan glyph of Chaac, the rain god, tying the spirit back to that older water tradition. It is produced by Stoli Group, using volcanic water drawn from an artesian well on site and filtered before it ever reaches the stills.

Each batch is made from 100% blue agave, double-distilled through copper and silver stills, and the water is put through multiple stages of filtration before fermentation even begins. The distillery also plants recycled agave fibre back into its fields and runs partly on solar power, a sustainability effort that shapes the range as much as its Mayan-inspired branding. For the rest of the bar, our mixers range is worth a browse.
