Atanasio Origenes “Fibras y Fuego” Tequila Blanco

Maestro Tequilero René Carranza, the brilliant mind behind Atanasio Tequila, is gaining a reputation not just for his excellent main line but for his incredible curiosity and experimental spirit. Armed with a tiny 8-liter stainless steel pot still, René loves to tinker, playing with unusual ingredients like crushed pears or other fruits, letting them open-top ferment with wild yeasts before distilling small, unique batches.

This same passion for exploration is vividly captured in “Fibras y Fuego” (Fibers & Fire), a special project where a small amount of cooked agave is mashed, packed into his little still complete with its fibers, fermented, and then micro-distilled twice over a direct gas flame.

This highly dense and complex tequila, made on an almost impossibly small scale, is then skillfully blended with a portion of René’s renowned Atanasio Orígenes high-proof tequila. The result is a truly distinctive spirit that feels both familiar to fans of Atanasio and yet entirely new.

Originally, “Fibras y Fuego” was intended to be an exclusive, distillery-only release for those few lucky visitors who made the journey. However, much to the delight of enthusiasts, it has instead become Atanasio’s very first US-exclusive limited release, a testament to its unique character and the demand for René’s innovative craftsmanship.
