Food Network star, “Top Chef” winner, and Michelin star recipient Michael Voltaggio is just as well-known for his culinary work as he is for the tattoos that cover his body. Since he’s also a fan of tequila, it only made sense that he would release a tequila inspired by his love for the artistry of tattooing.

It’s called Marcado 28, and Voltaggio collaborated with Spirits & Wines That Rock to create two tequilas: a small batch of Blanco and Reposado. Made from 100% Blue Weber agave, these tequilas are known for their agave sweet-forward flavor profile.

Marcado 28 Blanco is an unaged and unaltered tequila known for its mix of sweet agave, citrus peels, floral notes, and gentle sweetness. Marcado 28 Reposado is rested in American oak barrels for eight months. This creates a complex, sippable tequila loaded with honey, chili, roasted agave, citrus, vanilla, and chocolate.

“In a market dominated by celebrity brands, Marcado 28 defies the trend with a few of its own ‘celebrities’ who deserve to be recognized not for their fame and popularity but for their authentic expertise, talent, and backgrounds, which combine to make this tequila stand out among the rest,” Ron Roy, co-founder of Marcado 28 said in a press release.

“From Chef Michael Voltaggio to Master Tequilero Bruno Barba and talented tattoo artists El Sando and Billy Baca, who created the original art for our labels, our ‘celebrities’ personify and define this brand: defiant, authentic and masterful –and these qualities shine in our premium product.”

Tequila El Mexicano

León Jr. and Willy Bañuelos are the grandsons of the founder of Cazadores Tequila. Instead of working for their well-known grandpa, they decided to blaze their own trail in the agave-based spirits world. The duo collaborated with their father, Master Tequilero León Sr., to create Tequila El Mexicano. While the brand already makes a reposado and high-proof blanco, it recently announced the launch of a classic blanco tequila.

Made with 100% Blue Weber agave, Tequila El Mexicano Blanco is made with classic production methods, including traditional copper pot stills. According to Tequila El Mexicano, the result is a balanced, memorable, mixable, and sippable tequila that begins with a nose of cooked agave, yellow lemon, mint, and brine. Sipping it reveals notes of cooked agave, sweet citrus fruits, and a smooth, balanced herbal finish.
