Like the sexy bad boy riding through town on a Harley, this is a tequila that demands attention. At 100 proof, this REVOLUCION rolls across the palate with both guns drawn, offering a complex nose and a bold pro���le that will inspire the rebel within you to think outside of the tequila box. Undiluted during the distillation process, REVOLUCION 100 Proof offers the pure essence of agave and is unique enough to start a veritable tequila revolution. The call to charge is led by REVOLUCION���s signature cocktail, the 100 Proof Martini: ���The REVOLUCION Martini at 100 proof is something no one else has done,��� says brand owner Juan Carlos Arav Fortique of the spirit-forward sipping cocktail that simply combines two ounces of REVOLUCION 100 Proof with ���ve drops of vermouth. ���You can���t do this with any other product.��� One-of-a-kind and with a devil-may-care attitude, REVOLUCION is a true rebel. A sensational nose that offers caramel sweetness and lime brightness. Viscous and bold, it displays a variety of fruit, nut and citrus (hazelnut, cherry and gardenia) while never letting go of a fresh agave backbone and a warm ���nish.
