Cenote Tequila Sac Actun Batch 1 40% NV

Cenote Tequila Sac Actun Batch 1, bottled at 40% alcohol by volume, pays homage to the rich cultural and natural heritage of the Yucatán Peninsula with a name inspired by the Yucatec Maya language. “Sac Actun” translates to “White Cave System,” referring to the extensive underwater cave system along the Caribbean coast, renowned as the longest known underwater cave system.

This tequila draws inspiration not only from the geological marvel of the Sac Actun cave system but also from the archaeological discoveries within its depths. The remains of a Mammut and a human female, named Naia, have been unearthed in the cave, dating back as far as 13,000 years. These discoveries provide a glimpse into the ancient history and biodiversity encapsulated within the cave’s embrace.

Cenote Tequila Sac Actun Batch 1 serves as an ode to Maya heritage, embracing the cultural significance of cenotes and the natural wonders that have captivated civilizations for centuries. The term “cenote,” meaning “sacred well,” reflects the Mayans’ reverence for these water sources, considering them vital during dry times. Additionally, cenotes were believed to be “windows to the underworld,” inhabited by gods and goddesses, including Chaac, the god of rainfall.
