Tanteo Tequila Chocolate

A lot has changed since tequila first appeared in the U.S. market as a harsh, fiery liquor tempered only by a wedge of lime and a dash of salt. Tanteo Tequila Chocolate, launched in November, is reminiscent of the traditional “mole” flavor so prevalent in the cuisine of Mexico, with a spicy jalapeno kick. Roasted, malted, and raw cocoa give it its distinctive, smooth, earthy sweetness.

Sales of ultra-premium brands have grown at an industry-leading rate of more than 30 percent. The driving force behind the rapid growth has been a heightened appreciation for the refined smoothness of 100 percent blanco and aged tequilas.

“There are some superb blanco, anejo and reposado tequilas on the market already,” says Jonathon Rojewski, CEO of Tanteo Spirits Company. “We thought it was time for a superior tasting tequila that satisfies the contemporary thirst for bold, refined flavors and a sophisticated taste profile.”
