Introducing La Pulga 110: A Bold New Spirit from Fort Worth
In the vibrant heart of Fort Worth, a new chapter in tequila crafting has begun with the introduction of La Pulga 110. This limited-edition offering from La Pulga Spirits, founded by a trio of passionate local entrepreneurs, promises to redefine how enthusiasts experience high-proof tequila. The La Pulga 110 range, inclusive of both a blanco and a reposado, packs a robust punch at an impressive 110 proof (55% ABV), making it one of the strongest tequila offerings available in the market, something that true aficionados will certainly appreciate.
The Craft Behind the Spirit
At La Pulga Spirits, quality is the guiding principle. Each batch of La Pulga 110 is distilled in small quantities at their distillery in Jalisco, Mexico (NOM 1068). According to Dave Wiley, the Vice President of Marketing, the production process goes beyond traditional methods. By distilling to 60% ABV and employing a unique aeration technique, the team is able to achieve the coveted 110 proof without excessive water. This meticulous approach ensures that the tequila retains its rich agave flavor and smooth finish, showcasing the essence of high-quality local agave.
A Community Focused Brand
More than just a beverage, La Pulga symbolizes a connection to community and celebration. The brand name pays homage to the popular “Pulga” outdoor market on University Drive in Fort Worth, a spot where locals come together to connect and celebrate. Founders Sarah Castillo, Andrew De La Torre, and Stephen Slaughter launched La Pulga Spirits with the aim of creating a tequila that not only serves as an exquisite drinking experience but also reflects the rich culture and camaraderie of the local area.
