BEHIND THE BOTTLE

Who would have known Allocated’s first store pick was going to be an agave. Ylli and Robert scoffed at Long when James (NBC’s Barrel Samurai) mentioned that they have been experimenting with agave spirits. Instantly, they knew they had to try it. After a few other samples, they were presented with a beaker of the agave. It did not take long after nosing the Glencarin that Long knew he had to acquire the barrel. Nothing changed after tasting the spirit…rather, everyone asked for a to-go sample to take home themselves. In a world where celebrity tequilas are the new thing and where you can add up to 1% of additives and still legally call it 100% blue agave tequila, NBC’s agave spirit sets the new standard of a sipping tequila*.

No additives, no 40% watered-down-business to stretch out the bottle count, no celebrities (other than the beautiful and sexy Mike Hinds)— just a phenomenal agave spirit aged in some of the best rye casks ever to bless U.S. soil We entertain you to try it yourself and see why the Allocated crew absolutely adores this spirit. Take your time with her, she gets better when she has been sitting out for 10-30m. Cheers!
