\nOne of the most popular social reels doing the rounds currently is Gary Brecka, The Ultimate Human Podcast host, explaining how tequila is the best form of alcohol to drink, should you be in the mood for a tipple \u2013 and with Eva Longoria liking it, we\u2019re here for this!<\/p>\n

Given that National Tequila Day (Wednesday 24th July) is around the corner, take Gary\u2019s advice and familiarise yourself with El Mayor Tequila, renowned for its beautiful, clean tasting flavours and made with just three ingredients: Weber Blue Agave, water and yeast.<\/p>\n

Handcrafted authentically and with the utmost care by the Gonzalez family, one of Mexico\u2019s most reputable tequila distillers at Destiladora Gonzalez Lux\u2122, three award-winning El Mayor Tequilas of exceptional quality – El Mayor Blanco, El Mayor Reposado and El Mayor A\u00f1ejo – are now available in the UK from Amazon and Master of Malt.<\/p>\n

Sip and savour the authentic Mexican way, mix into beautiful celebratory cocktails, and pair with incredible foods.\u00a0 Each El Mayor Tequila offers an unmatched drinking experience – far removed from the \u2018slammer culture\u2019 – for all tastes and occasions, born from age-old processes and delivered by Grace Gonzalez, Master Distiller at the helm of El Mayor.<\/p>\n

A purist?\u00a0 El Mayor Blanco, an unaged, 100% blue agave tequila delivering a light body, a hint of pepper, is the best there is, with a host of accolades to back this up.\u00a0 A cocktail fan? Try El Mayor Reposado, boasting fruit agave, vanilla, spice, and caramel flavours it provides the perfect base for a Negroni.\u00a0 Prefer to take it slow?\u00a0 The increased aging of El Mayor A\u00f1ejo in white oak barrels provides a level of sophistication designed for contemplative sipping.<\/p>\n

Every bottle of El Mayor is made with 100% estate-grown Weber Blue Agave from the valley area of Jalisco, Mexico.\u00a0 Cut using the Jicama Jima technique for an unparalleled smooth taste, each El Mayor Tequila highlights the incredible flavours that can be produced, thanks to time-honoured techniques and a four-generation pedigree.<\/p>\n

Beautifully presented in bottles filled, labelled, and packaged by hand to ensure the ultimate quality and flavour, discover El Mayor Tequila (40% ABV) now at Amazon (El Mayor Blanco), \u00a339.55 and Master of Malt – El Mayor Blanco, \u00a346.95 (70cl), El Mayor Reposado, \u00a347.45 (70cl), El Mayor A\u00f1ejo, \u00a349.90 (70cl).<\/p>\n
