Maestro Cirilo's career wasn't inspired by a taste of phenomenal tequila. Quite the opposite: he had brought a bottle of tequila to a part and it was, in a word, horrendous. It was so fiery, jagged-edged, careless and lazy that it was an injustice to the tequila makers of generations past. All of his friends at the part were drinking branding, which they saw as exotic because it was made outside Mexico. It was at that moment the Cirilo knew that with a little effort and resourcefulness, he could make a tequila that saluted ancestral traditions, yet wasn't bound to them.
