Tarantula Tequila Proves 100 is Better

Tarantula Tequila Proves 100 is Better Tarantula Plata and Tarantula Reposado now 100 proof and made with 100 percent blue agave WESTON, MO (May 15, 2013) – The top 100….100 percent. Tarantula Tequila proved that 100 is better with the recent launch of their newly developed 100 proof and 100 percent pure agave tequilas. Tarantula Tequila joined the fiesta on Cinco de Mayo, when they introduced their Reposado 100 and Plata 100 throughout the USA. “The new Tarantula 100 series offers consumers the quality of 100 percent blue agave with the strength of 100 proof, for a taste sensation that offers more character and body, and is unexpectedly smooth for 100 proof,” said Vic Morrison, Vice President of Marketing at McCormick Distilling, distributors of Tarantula Tequila. “We wanted to offer tequila lovers an exceptional liquid at an accessible price point and we’re proud that we’ve achieved this with the Tarantula 100 series.” Crafted with pure agave from the Leyros Distillery fields and distilled with years of tradition, Tarantula Tequila boasts the finest 100 percent agave tequila available within Mexico. The Tarantula Plata 100 offers a clean, fresh taste that is then aged in the highest quality oak barrels to produce the more complex, amber colored Tarantula Reposado 100. To celebrate the heritage and authenticity of tequila’s designated point of origin, Tarantula Tequila enhanced their label to prominently feature the colors of the Mexican flag on their bottles. This new label showcases Tequila’s national pride. Tarantulas Plata 100 and Tarantula Reposado 100 are now available nationwide, retailing for approximately $17.99 for a 750ml bottle.
