​Exclusive Arrival Alert!
We’re beyond excited to welcome something truly special to Aroma Thyme—a tequila unlike any other. Say hello to Siempre Exclusivo Muerto Blanco, a rare and incredibly innovative spirit that’s capturing the attention of tequila connoisseurs around the world.
So, what makes Muerto Blanco so extraordinary? Let’s dive in.

🍸 The Innovation Behind the BottleGroundbreaking Fermentation Process:
Muerto Blanco uses a one-of-a-kind "afterlife" fermentation technique where the yeast is allowed to die naturally over the course of three weeks. This process is similar to malolactic fermentation used in crafting fine rums, giving the tequila a richer, more complex flavor. But it doesn’t stop there—the entire process is infused with music. Yes, Mozart is played during fermentation to create harmony between the agave and yeast. It's called the Mozart method, and it's both fascinating and effective.

🌿 Two Regions. Two Batches. One Incredible Tequila.This limited edition release features two distinctive batches, each fermented wild and aged with care:

• Puerta de la Carreta agave: Fermented for 28 days
  
• Capulin Verde agave: Fermented for 32 days
  

The result? A beautifully bold flavor profile that’s unlike anything you’ve ever tasted.

🔥 Limited to Just 4,500 Bottles WorldwideThat’s right—only 4,500 bottles exist across the entire globe. If you're lucky enough to get your hands on one, you’re joining an exclusive club of tequila lovers who know just how special this spirit is.

🥂 Try It at Aroma ThymeCome experience the magic for yourself—whether you're a seasoned tequila collector or just starting to explore premium spirits, Siempre Exclusivo Muerto Blanco is a must-try.

​Attention tequila lovers and collectors—this is BIG. We are beyond excited to announce the arrival of Cascahuín Destino, an extremely rare, limited-edition tequila that has the spirits world buzzing. With only around 6,000 bottles produced worldwide, securing a pour of this masterpiece is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you appreciate true craftsmanship, complexity, and history in tequila, this is your moment.

A Meticulous Masterpiece: The Craft Behind DestinoThe creation of Cascahuín Destino is a masterclass in traditional tequila-making, blending heritage techniques with innovative craftsmanship. Every step of its production is designed to maximize flavor, depth, and authenticity.

🔹 Two Cooking Methods – The agaves are cooked two ways: slowly baked in a traditional brick oven and roasted in an underground earthen pit, creating an unmatched depth of flavor.
🔹 Dual Milling Process – After cooking, the agave is crushed using both an old-fashioned tahona stone wheel and a modern roller mill, merging time-honored tradition with efficiency.
🔹 Three Fermentation Tanks – The juice undergoes fermentation in wood, stainless steel, and cement tanks, each adding unique complexity and character to the final tequila.
🔹 Bottled at 49% ABV (98-proof) – Almost at still-strength, delivering a bold, undiluted flavor experience with incredible depth.

An Unparalleled Tasting Experience 🥃Every sip of Cascahuín Destino unfolds like a story--rich, bold, and complex, with layers of flavor revealing themselves over time.

🌿 Tasting Notes:
✔️ Sweet, cooked agave at the forefront
✔️ Earthy minerals that ground the spirit
✔️ A whisper of smoke from the underground pit roasting
✔️ Bright citrus & fresh herbs for a refreshing lift
✔️ A delicate hint of anise, adding a unique depth
The balance of heritage and innovation in this tequila makes it an exceptional, full-bodied experience. Whether you’re a seasoned connoisseur or a curious enthusiast, this is a tequila that demands to be sipped slowly and savored.

A Work of Art—Inside & Out 🎨Cascahuín Destino isn’t just a collector’s dream because of what’s inside the bottle—it’s also a stunning visual tribute to tequila history.

🔥 Three Exclusive Label Designs – Created by renowned Mexican artist Mauricio Lara, each label tells a different chapter of the Rosales family distillery’s journey, celebrating their generations of tequila-making mastery.
​
With its striking artwork and deep cultural significance, every bottle is a conversation piece, representing Cascahuín’s commitment to tradition, quality, and innovation.

​This is where it all begins! Stacks of freshly harvested agave piñas, waiting to be slow-roasted at Siete Leguas—one of Mexico’s most iconic tequila producers. 🇲🇽🍹

At Aroma Thyme, we’re passionate about seeking out authentic, additive-free tequilas, crafted with tradition, care, and integrity—and Siete Leguas stands as one of the finest examples of true tequila craftsmanship.

A Legacy of Tradition & ExcellenceFounded in 1952, Siete Leguas has built its reputation on small-batch, artisanal production, using time-honored techniques that define the essence of real tequila. Unlike mass-produced brands, they still rely on slow-roasted agave, tahona mills, and meticulous distillation methods, ensuring every bottle carries the rich, complex flavors of handcrafted tequila.

Did you know? Siete Leguas was the original distillery behind the first batches of Patrón Tequila! That same dedication to quality, tradition, and authenticity continues today, making their tequila one of the most respected in the world.

The Art of Tequila-Making: From Agave to Glass🔥 Slow-Roasting in Stone OvensAt Siete Leguas, agave piñas are roasted in traditional stone ovens—a crucial step that allows natural caramelization and deep flavor development, unlike the rapid, industrialized methods used in mass production.

🛠️ Tahona Milling: A Centuries-Old CraftThe roasted agave is then crushed using a tahona stone mill, a labor-intensive yet highly effective method that extracts the richest flavors and maintains the agave’s natural essence.

🍶 Artisanal DistillationDouble-distilled in small copper pot stills, Siete Leguas tequilas develop incredible complexity and smoothness, with no need for additives or shortcuts.

Why We Love Siete Leguas at Aroma ThymeSiete Leguas represents everything we value in a great tequila--handcrafted, traditionally made, and 100% pure agave. No additives, no artificial enhancements—just real, honest tequila the way it was meant to be.

If you’re ready to experience what tequila truly tastes like, stop by Aroma Thyme for a pour of Siete Leguas—or better yet, try a side-by-side tasting to compare it with other authentic tequilas! 🌵🍶

​When it comes to Italian white wines, Soave is often overlooked in favor of more well-known varietals. But if you’ve only experienced mass-produced, generic Soave, it’s time to discover the true essence of this extraordinary wine. The finest Soave comes from the volcanic, hillside vineyards of the Soave Classico region, where altitude, unique soil composition, and skilled winemaking craft elegant, mineral-driven wines with depth and character.

At Aroma Thyme, we take pride in featuring top-tier Soave, especially from Prà, one of the benchmark producers of this iconic wine. If you haven’t explored high-quality Soave, you’re in for a treat—our current selection includes Prà Otto Soave Classico 2023, available by the glass!

🌋 What Makes Soave Special?Soave is made primarily from the Garganega grape, a varietal that thrives in the volcanic soils of northeast Italy’s Veneto region. The best expressions of Soave—particularly those from Soave Classico—are anything but ordinary. These wines are:

✅ Bright & Fresh – Crisp acidity, citrus, and white flowers make Soave an incredibly refreshing white wine.
✅ Mineral-Driven – The volcanic and limestone soils impart a distinctive minerality and complexity.
✅ Age-Worthy – While many Soaves are enjoyed young, top-tier versions develop richer honeyed and almond notes with age.

The Soave Classico designation is key—it refers to wines grown in the historic, high-altitude vineyards on the slopes of the Lessini Mountains, where the unique terroir yields wines of greater structure and longevity.

🍷 Featured Soave Wines at Aroma ThymePrà Otto Soave Classico 2023Tasting Notes: A vibrant and floral Soave with notes of citrus, pear, and white flowers, finishing with a crisp, mineral edge. This is an easy-drinking yet serious wine, perfect for pairing with fresh seafood, grilled vegetables, or light pastas.

✨ Special Note: This vintage marks the 40th anniversary of Prà—an extra reason to raise a glass!
Prà Staforte Soave Classico 2021Tasting Notes: A richer, more complex Soave, aged on the lees for added texture and depth. Expect flavors of stone fruit, almond, and a long, elegant finish. This wine pairs beautifully with creamy risottos, roasted chicken, and aged cheeses.

🌿 Our Visit to Soave’s VineyardsIn 2017, we had the privilege of walking the steep vineyard slopes where these incredible wines are born—witnessing firsthand how terroir shapes the flavors in the glass. And the journey doesn’t end there! In April, we’ll be heading back with a small group of wine lovers for another immersive Soave experience.

Want to discover real Soave for yourself? Stop by Aroma Thyme and taste the difference--this is not your supermarket Soave! 🍷✨

Cheers to the beauty of Garganega and volcanic wines! 🥂
