Kah Añejo 70cl.
Tequila Kah is a salute to life, designed to pay reverence and honor to Mexico, its culture and traditions. “KAH” translates as “life” in the ancient Mayan language, and Day of the Dead is, in fact, a celebration of lives lived, a 3,000-year-old traditional Mesoamerican holiday in memory of deceased loved ones. The multi-day festival brings together family and friends to pray and remember those they have lost. The customs are based on the belief that mourning and sadness are an insult to the deceased, and therefore, the life they lived should be celebrated with the food, drink and activities they enjoyed in life. While the bottle captures the enduring tradition, the tequila inside is worthy of the celebration. The design of the black bottle of Kah Tequila Añejo is inspired by the Nicaraguan tradition of the Day of the Dead. In Nicaragua, in addition to the standard traditions of building a shrine and giving gifts, many people stay and sleep in the cemetery. They believe that this act strengthens the emotional connection between them and the deceased.

Description
PREPARATION
Every step of the Kah Tequila making process, from preparing the agave to filling it into exceptional custom-made bottles, is done in the traditional way, with great passion and craftsmanship. Tequila is distilled from a specific variety of agave plant: the Weber blue agave. Only the heart of the plant (pineapple) that accumulates sugars is used for the production of tequila. At harvest time the pineapple weighs between 70 kg (110 lbs) and 110 kg (240 lbs). After harvesting, the pineapples are cut into 2 or 4 pieces and slowly baked for approximately 9 hours, then crushed to extract their sweet juice. Yeast is added to extracted agave juice and poured into large stainless steel tanks for several days to ferment, resulting in a low-alcohol must. This must is distilled twice. Kah Tequila Añejo is aged in 600-liter American oak barrels for at least 12 months, where it develops softer flavors and its amber color.
