SUMMARY:Tasting with Enelalma Tequila and Legendary Master Distiller Oscar Vazquez!

This is your rare opportunity to meet the mastermind behind the liquid. Master Distiller Oscar Vazquez\, renowned for his precision and incredible legacy at iconic distilleries like El Pandillo\, will be in the shop to share his craft. \nCome taste the beautiful expressions of Enelalma\, learn about traditional brick-oven cooking\, and chat with Oscar himself about what makes this award-winning spirit so uniquely spectacular. \nWhere: SF Tequila Shop (801 Cortland Ave\, San Francisco\, CA)  \nWhen: Friday\, May 29th | 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM  \nAdmission: Free to attend! \nBring your fellow tequila enthusiasts \nOscar Vazquez\nOscar Vazquez Camarena is a highly respected figure in the craft agave world\, known for combining technical scientific precision with a deep respect for traditional methods. \n\nThe Chemist’s Approach: A chemist by trade\, Vazquez is celebrated for his “hands-on” and meticulous approach to distillation. He focuses heavily on the science of fermentation and the impact of mineral-rich deep well water on the final spirit.\nThe El Pandillo Legacy: Before launching his recent projects\, he spent over a decade working at the world-renowned Destilería El Pandillo (NOM 1579). There\, he worked alongside legendary master distiller Felipe Camarena on iconic brands such as G4\, Volans\, Terralta\, and ArteNOM 1579.\nCurrent Projects: He currently serves as the Master Distiller for Enelalma Tequila and Tequila Corrido. He also crafts the Manuscrito brand at the family-owned El Sabino Distillery (NOM 1643) in Jesús María\, Jalisco.\nDistillation Philosophy: Vazquez is a staunch advocate for the “clean” tequila movement.\n\n\nHis production signatures include:\n\n100% Additive-Free: He is a key member of the new generation of distillers dedicated to authenticity\, ensuring no glycerin\, syrups\, or artificial colors are used.\nHighland Terroir: He works exclusively with mature\, single-estate Blue Weber agave from the Los Altos (Highlands) region\, which provides the characteristic bright citrus and floral notes found in Enelalma.\nTraditional Methods: He uses traditional brick ovens for slow-cooking agave and copper pot stills for double distillation to preserve the plant’s complex flavors.\n\nThe Enelalma Connection\nIn collaboration with founder Melanie M. Shelby\, Vazquez formulated Enelalma’s profile as a “prestige sipping tequila.” His technical skill was instrumental in creating its specific flavor profile — noted for its complexity\, elegant mouthfeel\, and a finish that balances cooked agave with delicate floral aromas. \nExpert Tip: If you’re attending the tasting\, ask him about the “proprietary yeast” or the specific “deep well water” used at the Peña Blanca distillery — these are the technical nuances that Oscar is famous for perfecting. \nAbout SF Tequila Shop\nLocated in the heart of the Bernal Heights neighborhood\, SF Tequila Shop is a premier destination for enthusiasts of traditional agave spirits.
