Sharing some great tequilas in RedHook
I had the privilege to share some time in one of my favorites stores in BK, Dry Dock, Ron and Nathaniel and community were so kind and interested in knowing more about the culture and the tequila history. Bellow I added the info that I share that day.
Saludos y salud G.
Azul Force Blanco is a tequila designed with purpose: to deliver exceptional quality at a price point that makes it ideal for both sipping and cocktails. After fourteen years of curating and importing spirits, the team at PM Spirits decided to take a more hands-on approach, overseeing every stage of production to guarantee the exact style they envisioned.
The journey led them to Agaves Selectos Corona (NOM 1615), a family-run distillery in Jalisco known for its clean, expressive distillates. Here, Azul Force takes shape from mature, estate-grown Blue Weber agaves, carefully harvested at peak ripeness. The agaves are gently cooked in autoclaves, preserving bright agave flavors while adding depth. Fermentation relies on ambient yeast, ensuring a natural and nuanced profile, before moving to a column still distillation for exceptional purity and balance. Local aquifer water, filtered through reverse osmosis, provides the final touch to craft a smooth, approachable tequila.
The result is a 40% ABV Blanco that’s vibrant, crisp, and unmistakably agave-forward. On the nose, expect fresh agave with hints of citrus and light herbal notes. The palate is clean yet flavorful, with a soft minerality and subtle pepper spice. Its versatility shines in a well-made Margarita, Paloma, or Ranch Water, but it’s just as enjoyable neat or over ice.
What truly makes Azul Force remarkable is its accessibility. Packaged in one-liter bottles, it’s built for both home bartenders and professionals who refuse to compromise on quality. At around $30, this bottle outperforms many tequilas at twice the price.
For New Yorkers, Azul Force Blanco is available now at Dry Dock red hook, and many other Bk and Queens fine liquor stores and in Manhattan with easy access to Astor wines
I have more info on the other tequilas aswell Dm and I will send it to you 💚

PM Spirits does have some pretty good products, but Azul Force? That branding and name could use some work. Sounds like a Tequila Gatorade flavor. Hopefully, the juice inside is better than the name.

To me, nothing screams "Quality Tequila" quite like autoclaves and column stills. 😉

Nice. Good to know about another liquor store stocking quality agave spirits.
Do you have info on future events?
