6 / the tasting panel / october 2014 UP by Rachel Burkons Revolucion UpFront with With its characteristic logo and the word "Revolucion" brandished in bold letters across its label, take one look at Tequila REVOLUCION's bottle and you know you're dealing with a tequila that doesn't play by the rules. With a portfolio that's home to the only 100-proof tequila to market and includes a much-beloved extra añejo, Tequila REVOLUCION is rewriting what tequila can be—and the timing could not be better. "Tequilas have become such an important part of our cocktail culture," says Danny Louie, Bar Manager at San Francisco's Tacolicious. "And it's not just about Margaritas at Mexican restaurants anymore. Premium tequilas like Tequila REVOLUCION belong on any backbar where spirits are taken seriously." So with a growing interest in artisanal agave spirits, bartenders have turned to Tequila REVOLUCION to help them break free from the mold and think outside of the Margarita. THE TASTING PANEL went on a mission to find these bartend- ers and uncover their stories of using Tequila REVOLUCION to further the cocktail revolution. Join us on our journey down REVOLUCION road! At Tacolicious in San Francisco, Bar Manager Danny Louie enjoys the unique smoothness of the Tequila REVOLUCION Extra Añejo. PHOTO: HARDY WILSON PHOTO: HARDY WILSON
