El Nivel Ghost Pepper Flavoured Tequila

Crafted from 100% USDA Certified Organic Blue Weber agave harvested from the Highlands of Jalisco (Los Altos). Slow-cooked in traditional stone brick ovens, natural yeast fermented, and double-distilled in copper pot stills at Tequila Las Americas (NOM 1480). This craft expression infuses El Nivel's organic blanco tequila with natural ghost pepper (Bhut Jolokia) botanical essence. Bottled at a full 80 proof (40% ABV), it delivers an intense, fiery heat balanced by sweet cooked agave and crisp citrus brightness.

Food Pairing: Spicy wings, carne asada tacos, mango ceviche, jalapeño poppers, spicy shrimp cocktail, and dark chocolate desserts.

Tasting Notes : Crystal clear with bright silver clarity and a smooth, medium-bodied viscosity.

Nose : Intense dried chili spice, roasted agave, fresh lime zest, red pepper flakes, and a hint of smoky pepper oil.

Palate : Sweet roasted agave and crisp citrus upfront, quickly overtaken by a bold, fiery burst of ghost pepper heat, light earthy minerality, and black pepper spice.

Finish : Long, lingering, and fiery with a warming chili burn fading into sweet cooked agave and pepper oils.

Serve : Serve as a bold shot, on the rocks, or as an fiery base in extra-spicy Margaritas, Palomas, and Bloody Marias without needing added chili syrups.
