Peligroso is no joke–bottled at 84 proof rather than the standard 80 proof. Why the elevated strength? The higher alcohol concentration means that less water is used to dilute the tequila to its bottling strength. Peligroso is an exceptionally smooth 42% alc. by Vol. 100% Weber Blue Agave Tequila, grown and harvested on a private estate in the highlands of Jalisco Mexico and HQ’d in San Clemente. Every batch of Peligroso tequila is tasted by their chief master-taster to guarantee its outstanding quality and no gimmicks, this tequila is good. The result is a more flavorful spirit. Overproof styles have rich, luxurious flavors that consumers and mixologists find so appealing. Peligroso Tequilas best typify the style.
The hand-numbered bottles used for the three expressions are each distinguished by a different type of glass. For example, Peligroso Añejo is bottled in a satin black glass bottle to represent its complex layers and nuances. The glass bottle housing the Peligroso Reposado has a rustic look to match the tequila’s pale amber appearance. The Silver is packaged in clear flint glass to reflect its purity.
Peligroso means “dangerous” in Spanish. The brand represents living life on the edge and identifies itself with the danger and beauty of Mexico, which according to the bottle label are “sketchy borders, dirt roads, smashed rental cars, federales, banditos, scorching sun, rugged coastline, perfect waves, fishing coolers, cold cervezas, and of, course, tequila.” Salud!
