This Christmas, it’s indeed good news for all the tequila lovers. And just because TheGlitz is a harbinger of good tidings, we present Volcan de Mi Tierra, the ultra-premium tequila brand backed by Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy (LVMH), that has launched its exceptional portfolio in India. Known for its unparalleled craftsmanship and artistry, Volcan de Mi Tierra is set to redefine the luxury tequila landscape, offering an exclusive range of tequilas for the discerning Indian connoisseur.

Volcan de Mi Tierra – A Heritage of Excellence

With over 300 years of heritage, Volcan de Mi Tierra draws upon the time-honored traditions of the Gallardo family, whose tequila-making expertise dates back to 1774 at Hacienda La Gavilana in Jalisco, Mexico. This rich lineage is brought to life through a partnership with Moët Hennessy, where the Gallardos’ mastery in tequila craftsmanship meets Moët Hennessy’s global savoir-faire. The result is an extraordinary tequila collection that embodies authenticity, innovation, and the art of tequila making.

Volcan de Mi Tierra is associated with NOM 1523, a prestigious distinction in the tequila world. Out of the 2,200 tequila brands produced by 169 distilleries in Mexico, Volcan stands tall as one of only five additive-free single NOM distilleries worldwide, highlighting its commitment to purity and the highest standards of quality.

The Essence of Purity – Volcan de Mi Tierra

Renowned for its purity, Volcan de Mi Tierra produces tequila 100% additive-free with only the finest Blue Weber Agave. Its all-natural flavor profiles are a result of the brand’s expertise in blending and aging, ensuring each expression is a testament to Mexico’s unique terroir. Each bottle is meticulously hand-painted, numbered, and sealed, embodying the exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail that goes into every bottle.

The portfolio includes:

Volcan Blanco: A pure expression of 100% Blue Agave, this tequila delivers a perfectly balanced taste, with subtle sweetness, natural agave flavors, hints of grapefruit, and a touch of black pepper spice, resulting in a smooth finish.

Volcan Reposado: Aged in both American and European oak barrels, this dual aging process creates a complex, refined tequila, with a rich mouthfeel and a smooth, balanced finish.

Volcan Cristalino: Charcoal-filtered for clarity, this expression is aged and finished in Cognac and whisky casks, bringing forward primary notes of caramel, tobacco, and dark chocolate, complemented by vanilla, soft spices, and dried fruits for a luxurious experience.

Volcan X.A: A true masterpiece, this innovative blend of Reposado, Añejo, and Extra-Añejo tequilas reveals a perfect balance of cooked agave, subtle spices, and sweet aromas, setting a new standard for luxury tequila. Volcan X.A has earned accolades, including being named Best Agave-Based Spirit of the Year at the 2023 and 2024 NY Wines & Spirits Competition.

Setting a New Standard

Volcan de Mi Tierra is not just about crafting tequila; it’s about crafting luxury. The brand’s commitment to excellence is reflected in its unique process, which blends agave from two different regions of Jalisco to create a tequila that perfectly balances elegance, complexity, and refinement. Each sip of Volcan captures the spirit of Jalisco and the raw natural power of the volcanic terroir.

“Volcan de Mi Tierra brings a distinctive offering with its positioning as one of the only five tequilas worldwide with a single NOM and 100% additive-free,” says Ms. Smriti Sekhsaria, Marketing Director, Moët Hennessy India. “Rooted in over 300 years of the Gallardo family’s artisanal expertise, combined with Moët Hennessy’s savoir-faire, Volcan de Mi Tierra represents the pinnacle of quality and heritage.
