Tired of Turkey, Give a Gift of Mico Tequila Instead.

Hosted by Manhattan Beach's Esperanza's upscale Mexican fried filet mignon and shrimp tacos buffet, Mico Tequila did a tasting of its tequila, proving there are different types of tequila.


The tequila everyone is familiar with is the basic and the lightest and always in a margarita, Blanco Tequlia.  Crafted in small batches with only three essential ingredients: Water, 100% Blue Weber Agave + time. The expression opens on a floral nose + finishes with ripe natural agave characteristics.


The medium MICO Reposado is aged in American Oak whiskey barrels then finished in Napa Valley Cabernet barrels to create warm vanilla notes that marry with the tequila’s natural agave edge. The result is a Tennessee-inspired finish that doesn’t forget its Jalisco roots.


The deepest and the darkest, Mico Extra Anejo is aged in ex-Kentucky Bourbon barrels and then finished off in  premium Cabernet Barrels from for  an average of 44 months at 42% ABV.
