The Blue Agave Group
Israeli Agave Spirit
A world-class spirit born from the Negev Desert
Beyond Tequila
A Spirit of the Holy Land
While our spirit is crafted from the same Blue Agave (Agave tequilana) used for tequila, our product is uniquely and authentically Israeli. Due to appellation laws, only spirits produced in specific regions of Mexico can be called "tequila."
Our Israeli Agave Spirit—similar to a premium mezcal—captures the essence of the Negev Desert's unique terroir. It will be world-class, sophisticated, and deeply connected to the Holy Land, offering flavors and character that Mexican spirits simply cannot replicate.
This isn't just an alternative to tequila—it's something entirely new and distinctly Israeli that will stand proudly alongside the world's finest spirits.
"We're creating a spirit that will be better than anything imported from Mexico—something uniquely ours, deeply Israeli, and world-class."

Product Distinction
From Piña to Perfection
Our traditional crafting process honors centuries-old methods while incorporating Israeli innovation and precision.
Harvest
After 5-7 years of maturation, skilled jimadores harvest the agave heart (piña), which can weigh 40-70 kg.
Roasting
The piñas are slow-roasted in traditional ovens or modern autoclaves to convert starches to fermentable sugars.
Fermentation
Natural or cultured yeasts convert the agave sugars into alcohol over several days, developing complex flavors.
Distillation
Double distillation in copper pot stills creates our premium Israeli Agave Spirit with distinctive Negev character.
A Taste of the Negev
Our Israeli Agave Spirit will offer a unique flavor profile shaped by the distinctive terroir of the Negev Desert.
Expected Tasting Notes
Nose
Fresh desert herbs, mineral notes from Negev soil, subtle citrus, and the distinctive earthiness of the Holy Land.
Palate
Rich agave sweetness balanced with mineral complexity, hints of Mediterranean herbs, and a smooth, warming texture.
Finish
Long, elegant finish with lingering notes of cooked agave, subtle spice, and the unique terroir signature of the Negev.
The Negev Difference
The intense desert sun, mineral-rich soil, and arid climate create stress conditions that concentrate flavors and develop unique compounds not found in traditional agave-growing regions.
