Tequila Milagro: author’s review + types

Tequila Legend of the Miracle (Legend of a miracle – Spanish), referred to in the circle of connoisseurs and admirers simply as “tequila Milagro” – a young, but at the same time very popular premium drink.

The secret of its popularity lies in a rather successful and harmonious combination of tradition and creativity. The reverse side of the mentioned symbiosis is the high cost of the drink, which automatically makes it export-oriented.

General description of Milagro tequila

Forty-degree tequila Milagro is made exclusively from the spirit of the Blue Agave, which grows in the most favorable corner of the state of Jalisco: Los Altos. Mature agave “cones” are steamed in classic brick ovens. This process takes longer than usual, which gives all brands of the drink a spicy smoky flavor.

During the fermentation of agave juice, special branded yeast is used, which gives the taste of tequila from the Milagro distillery characteristic bitter vanilla-citrus notes. Triple distillation, carried out in classic copper stills, gives the drink a special softness.

At the same time, the products of the Select Barrel Reserve line, as well as the exclusive Único II brand, are bottled in handmade crystal bottles, decorated on the inside of the bottom with an elegant bas-relief in the form of an agave piña.

Types of tequila Milagro

  1. Milagro Silver

    Young unaged distillate. It has a fresh aroma with a hint of citrus. Intense smoky agave taste is accompanied by a bitter peppery aftertaste. I warmly recommend eating without salt, but with seafood with lime-pepper sauce.

  2. Reposed Miracle

    A golden aperitif aged approximately half a year. Contact with a bourbon barrel imparts caramel notes to the taste of the drink, complemented by a spicy aftertaste.

  3. Aged Miracle

    Dark amber digestif, spent in bourbon barrels from 14 months to a year and a half. The aroma contains woody, caramel and coconut tones. The taste is enriched with chocolate, tobacco and coconut innuendos.

  4. Milagro Select Barrel Reserve Silver

    Aged for 59 days in new French oak barrels, which in no way affects the transparency of the drink. Lemon motifs are clearly discernible in the taste of this aperitif tequila.

  5. Milagro Select Barrel Reserve Reposado

    It spends up to 10 months in new French oak barrels. More like a digestif than an aperitif. The aroma evokes cognac associations. Vanilla, cinnamon and pepper tones are guessed in the spicy taste and aftertaste.

  6. Milagro Select Barrel Reserve Añejo

    Another digestif of dark amber color, which has not left French oak barrels for three years. This circumstance makes the taste of tequila more balanced and gives it a subtle hint of creamy toffee aftertaste.

  7. Unique Miracle II

    An elite blend of unaged tequila and spirits from Select Barrel Reserve Añejo and Reposado. Thanks to filtration and enrichment with oxygen, the drink is almost colorless. According to the producers, vanilla, mint and oak shades can be caught in its aroma. On the palate, after the honey-anise prelude, a fruity-mint apogee sets in, smoothly ending with a spicy aftertaste with chocolate-nut undertones and woody counterpoint.
