How Mar Azul Coconut Won Double Gold

Of the eleven expressions Mar Azul Tequila makes, one keeps surprising people: the Coconut. It earned a Double Gold at the European World Spirits Competition. Once you taste it, the medal makes sense.

What Double Gold means

At blind competitions, a Gold medal means a judging panel scored a spirit in the top tier. A Double Gold means that score was unanimous: every judge, independently, placed it among the best. It's the difference between "excellent" and "no argument."

What's in the glass

The trick with a flavored tequila is restraint. Too much and it reads like candy. Mar Azul Coconut folds ripe, creamy coconut into smooth blue agave without ever tipping into syrup: bright enough to sip over ice, rich enough to linger. That balance is what the judges rewarded.

The coast, captured in a glass, and now in a medal.

Try it the way the judges did (a small pour, neat, slightly chilled), or let it shine in a Coconut Colada. Either way, it's an easy place to start with the Sabores line.
