Today I’m reviewing Casa Loy Piedra y Agave Blanco 49, a high-proof tequila produced at NOM 1633 in the Southern Highlands of Jalisco. What makes this tequila so interesting is that the distillery has access to multiple production methods, yet for this release they chose a traditional approach focused on flavor and character. This tequila is made using stone brick ovens, tahona extraction, spontaneous open-air fermentation with fibers, deep well water, and double distillation in copper pot stills before being bottled at a bold 49% ABV (98 proof). I also had the opportunity to meet Luis Loy in Guadalajara during my 2025 trip to Mexico. We spent time tasting tequila, discussing the project, and talking about the vision behind Casa Loy. After seeing the passion behind the brand, I was excited to finally sit down and review this bottle. In this review we’ll cover: ✅ Aroma and tasting notes ✅ Traditional production methods ✅ High-proof tequila character ✅ Casa Loy’s philosophy ✅ Whether Piedra y Agave Blanco 49 is worth adding to your collection If you enjoy additive-free tequila, traditional tequila production, tahona-made tequila, high-proof blancos, and deep dives into how tequila is actually made, you’re in the right place.
