Podcasts about reposado

"What customers really want is service that just works — guaranteed, reliable, and built to last," says Jake Jacoby, CEO of TELCLOUD. “That's what modularity delivers — a system that's flexible, future-proof, and ready to adapt as technology evolves.” In this latest episode of the TELCLOUD POTS and Shots Podcast Series, Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, sits down with Jacoby to explore how modularity and hybrid architecture are reshaping the future of POTS line replacement. Jacoby explains that while some providers have built all-in-one devices combining battery, conversion, and LTE/5G connectivity in a single box, that design often fails in real-world environments: “When you put a 5G radio in a basement, it's like trying to make a cell call underground,” he notes. Instead, TELCLOUD's modular approach separates the cellular router from the conversion hardware using Power over Ethernet (PoE) — allowing placement of the radio up to 250 feet away for optimal signal strength and reliability. This architecture also allows resellers to choose the right connectivity partner — TELCLOUD integrates with major vendors such as Ericsson, Digi, Peplink, and InHand Networks — and to easily upgrade from 4G to 5G or beyond without replacing the entire system. The on-premise equipment, designed to last 15 to 20 years, remains in place while connectivity evolves. TELCLOUD's hybrid model extends beyond hardware to the network layer itself. Unlike vendors that rely on voice-over-IP to deliver alarm or life-safety signals, TELCLOUD routes communications through its UL-listed data centers directly to certified central alarm stations — ensuring code compliance, redundancy, and end-to-end reliability. For resellers, this means a powerful selling advantage: Install once, manage remotely, and minimize truck rolls. Deliver guaranteed service uptime to customers. Future-proof deployments to avoid costly upgrades. "Ultimately, customers aren't buying hardware — they're buying confidence," Jacoby says. "TELCLOUD's flexible, hybrid solution makes sure that confidence lasts for decades." And in the Shots segment, Jacoby takes listeners on a guided tasting of Ocho Tequila, demonstrating three variations — Blanco, Reposado, and Añejo — to illustrate how aging changes the character and complexity of the same base spirit. “It's a perfect metaphor for technology,” he adds. “Same foundation, different maturity.” The POTS and Shots series continues to blend deep technical insight with a touch of culture — helping resellers modernize infrastructure while enjoying the finer details along the way.

Today the Boys make more cocktails! After what may be the longest cold open in history, Matt brings a Rittenhouse Rye (Single Barrel from Bourbon Belly Group), Drew brings Tres Agaves Reposado (because the grocery store didn't have what he originally wanted) and Joby brings his wonderful cover of Bobby McFerrin's “Don't Worry Be Happy” (if you're too young to remember Cocktail the movie, we're sorry).  These concoctions are crushable sipping drinks you will want to try for your next get together. So gather your mates, make some cocktails, listen and sip along, and Make It A Happy Friday!™ 

Borrowed coffee cups, a sherry-finished pour, and a market plot twist: we crack open Horse Neck's Kentucky Bourbon and unpack why the bourbon world suddenly feels upside down. We're joined by our resident spirits pro to translate tasting notes into plain English, orange marmalade, licorice, toasted oak, and that cherry-friendly finish, and to explain why this bottle works neat, with a splash, or in an old-fashioned.From there, we zoom out. Shelves that were bare a year ago now show Buffalo Trace by the case. E.H. Taylor and other favorites are popping up at or near MSRP. Meanwhile, several distilleries have paused production because inventory on hand can meet demand in the near term. That's the X-point: a glut from years of aggressive barreling meeting consumer downtrading in a wobbly economy. We talk through what that means for pricing, secondary markets, and why some bottles may sit longer in oak, potentially turning good whiskey into great whiskey over the next few years.If you're tired of the bourbon chase, you're not alone. Reposado, Añejo, and extra Añejo tequilas, especially additive-free standouts, are winning over bourbon palates with ex-bourbon barrel character and clearer value. Rum is a dark horse too, with well-aged, ex-American oak releases offering caramel, spice, and depth without the bourbon premium. We share practical strategies: build relationships with independents, test “walk by” labels you've ignored for years, and follow a simple rule of thumb, hold treasured allocations, buy quality value now, and skip panic selling.If you enjoyed this, subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a friend who still thinks everything good is only behind the counter. What bottle are you hunting, or rediscovering, this week?

On this week's The Last Drop, JB & Khody are back with Tequila week. JB goes over a few bottles that was recently purchased.

For this Beginner Buy the Boys pair a bourbon Matt cut his teeth on as a young whiskey wanderer - Jim Beam Black (now a 7 year aged stated bourbon) and a tequila Drew discovers has a mistaken label - Tequila Cultura 100 Reposado (actually 86 proof but with an original 80 proof label). You may need to turn your volume up when the boys get a live FaceTime call while recording from Brad Niccum of Taste Tequila with Brad, while they try to solve the mystery of the mistaken label. The QuickSips™ are always good, but even better when the bottles are affordable, available and quality. So find these bottles, listen and sip along and Make It A Happy Friday! ™

We're adding some barrel! Ana from Santo Tequila is back to up our I.Q. on what is "good" tequila. She points out what makes Santo part of only 30% of the tequila distillers out on the market and of course we do it with drink in hand, their Reposado is up on the tasting block today.

The Boys finally pair the remaining Great Lakes Tequila Club pick with a whiskey, and it definitely gets adventurous. Matt talks way too much about a type of whiskey that he is not that fond of (Canadian) while Drew reveals he knows too much about Costco's rotisserie chicken profits. If you stick to the end, you might hear the boys sip on some things that are not exactly whiskey and not exactly tequila. Something in the future, maybe? Unless you are in the Chicago area, you might not get these exact bottles. However, the Boys invite you to find a whiskey and a tequila, invite your friends over, sip and listen along - and Make It A Happy Friday!™

Well, y'all, today may be the day the Boys break the internet with a show that has never been done before.  The first of its kind.   A little more than a year ago, the Boys opened two fresh bottles.  Matt uncorked a Michter's Unblended American Whiskey and Drew broke the seal on a Tequila Don Fulano Reposado.  They recorded that fresh neck pour and then put the bottles aside.  But then they did what has never been done on any spirits podcast: They revisited them every few months, recording how the bottles changed over the course of a full year. And so here it is, a full year in the making, the full arc of two spirits from neck pour to bottle kill! The QuickSips™ are too numerous to describe, but believe me, the Boys found another beautiful pairing! These bottles are on the shelf, so scoop 'em up, fill your cup, invite your friends, listen and sip along and Make It A Full Year Of Happy Fridays™!

"If we have to roll a truck, there's a problem," says Jake Jacoby of TELCLOUD. In the latest episode of the POTS and Shots podcast series, Jacoby joins Technology Reseller News publisher Doug Green to discuss how TELCLOUD eliminates costly and disruptive truck rolls with a carrier-grade platform that delivers complete remote management for POTS replacement. Building on the company's commitment to five nines of uptime, Jacoby explains how TELCLOUD extends its global network directly into customer locations, treating every deployed device as part of its own infrastructure. This approach allows for seamless monitoring, maintenance, and remote reboot capabilities—critical for life-safety lines where reliability is paramount. TELCLOUD has engineered deep integrations with leading cellular router providers, including Ericsson, Peplink, Digi, InHand, and Segoe, enabling resellers to manage the entire customer environment without ever dispatching a technician. Beyond connectivity, the solution supports firmware upgrades, configuration changes, power cycling, and automated watchdog services that enhance security and resilience. For resellers, this translates into stronger margins and recurring revenue opportunities. By offering a fully managed service, partners can reduce operational costs, provide higher-quality customer experiences, and build long-term client relationships. Customers benefit as well, gaining affordable, law-compliant POTS replacement backed by continuous monitoring and trusted advisory support. As always, the podcast pairs telecom insights with a taste of fine tequila. This episode features Teralta Reposado, a clean, organic tequila from Felipe Camarena, best known for creating the G4 brand. Jacoby highlights the nuanced flavors that come from resting the spirit in oak barrels, encouraging listeners to compare Teralta's Blanco and Reposado expressions side by side. The POTS and Shots series continues to blend business-critical telecom strategy with lighthearted exploration, reminding resellers that POTS replacement is more than a sale—it's about delivering lasting reliability and customer loyalty.

BRANIGAN Cultural Center Tuesday - Saturday 501 North Main Street Las Cruces NM     Exhibit Details: An exhibit titled “ALIENTO a TEQUILA - THE SPIRIT OF TEQUILA” at the Branigan Cultural Center in downtown Las Cruces celebrates the traditions, culture and landscape of tequila, the iconic spirit of Mexico.. The exhibit features Joel Salcido's photography showcasing blue agave fields, the people involved in tequila production, and key cultural aspects. The exhibit ends on Friday, August 9. Tequila and Agave: Tequila can only be made in Jalisco, Mexico. Blue agave is essential for tequila production. Bat Conservation Message: The exhibit highlights the critical relationship between native bats and the blue agave plant. Three bat pollinators are in danger: the Mexican long-nosed bat, lesser long-nosed bat (both endangered), and the Mexican long-tongued bat (a “species of concern”). Bats require the sweet nectar from flowering agave to survive and feed their young, especially pregnant bats. Bat Facts: These bats migrate over 700 miles. They birth a single pup. Bats feed on agave nectar at night while it blooms, pollinating the plant by transferring pollen, which leads to new agave plants. Main Threat: Blue agave is now often harvested before it is allowed to flower, depriving bats of food and the opportunity to pollinate the plant, threatening both the bats' survival and the plant's reproduction. Call to Action: The exhibit draws attention to “BAT FRIENDLY TEQUILA” as a way to support ecosystem health. It encourages awareness of the importance of bat pollinators in tequila production and maintaining biodiversity. Further Resources: Branigan Cultural Center: 501 North Main Street, Las Cruces, NM 88001. Books: “The Spirit of Tequila, Aliento a Tequila” by Joel Salcido, and “Tequila Wars” by Ted Genoways.

Imagine having someone looking after YOU as a business owner. Business owners often focus on cash flow, payroll, and acquiring new cash flow.  Neglecting to plan for life-changing events like tragic accidents or temporary disabilities hinders continuity in your business. Andy Fankhauser offers a process to help business owners, their partners, and families make smooth transitions if the owner is incapacitated or worse. After speaking with Andy, I realized I never considered a backup plan for my French-themed inn, in case I couldn't manage it for a few months. I mentioned having $300,000 in life insurance to cover expenses for the inheritor while they sold the property—this only prepares for unexpected death. Andy pointed out that without a method for someone to authorize payroll or pay bills through the business bank, outstanding debts and expenses won't be paid. Life insurance alone is not enough. Andy suggests taking steps with your bank to ensure someone can continue business operations if you're unable to sign those checks or make withdrawals.. He guides you through a preplanning process for both temporary setbacks and death. Andy has over ten years of banking experience and saw firsthand the impact of COVID on business owners. A recurring issue: no plan for alternate people to access business funds if the owner is incapacitated or has passed away. Banks CAN require probate to access funds.  Probate of business accounts can take months to years,  preventing crirical payments. This scenario can be avoided with proper planning—Andy specializes in this area. He looks after YOU as a business owner and helps you avoid catastrophes.

Creativity and Imagination: Man's ability to Create something uplifts the human spirit. Imagination fuels creativity. Imagination leads to the thoughts that become ideas — and thoughts become things. Inspiration from Nature: As Monarch butterflies need the milkweed plant, Evana Henri needs Wild Aspen from Colorado forests to make her Wild Aspen Exfoliators.. Wild Aspen is sustainably and responsibly sourced from Colorado forests. Harvesting is part of a forestry plan to prevent wildfires and revitalize forests. Sourcing Practices (from their website): Partner with local, reputable suppliers. Suppliers are government-approved and follow U.S. Forestry guidelines. These efforts support both the environment and forest health. The Origin of the Idea: Most sponges are synthetic, made from crude oil (non-renewable). Contain toxic chemicals and microplastics. Pollute water, soil, and the broader environment. Evana and her husband have scientific backgrounds. Motivated by love for the planet. Focused on solving the "Dirty Sponge Problem": About the Business: Sustainable sourcing of natural materials. Reducing global plastic pollution.

FINLAND.. Land of the Midnight Sun during Summer..I met someone recently who loves FINLAND, as a world traveler and the owner Regal Luxury Travel .  Raymond Giles started this business as a “ hobby”.  However, since he has been all over the world and knows so many places that most don't visit…he  shares his insights on his website:Luxury Vacations Await You | Regal Luxury Travel w/ Raymond, LLC https://regalluxurytravelwraymond.com/   Finland is 75% wilderness, with over 187K of  lakes—perfect for nature lovers. • Embraces the philosophy of “Every Man's Right”—people can freely roam the land and enjoy nature.https://youtube.com/shorts/x56nmwJDqVA?si=Gbe8XzK1 • Finland is repeatedly ranked the most content  country in the world, with a culture that is punctual, content, and respectful of time and others • Most coffee-consumed per capita in the world. Coffee is called Kahvi. • Blueberry juice (from wild berries in local forests) is a staple—healthy and real, unlike our sugary juices in America.   If you're seeking sunlight, the sun barely sets in the summers, whereas winters are your best bet at catching a glimpse of the northern lights dancing in the skies. In autumn, Finland is bathed in shades of crimson and gold, and the springtime is temperate and green. The best time to visit Finland depends on what excites you the most: 24/7 daylight, or the neon green aurora borealis against the night skies.    Kundalini Yoga FEEL YOUR ABUNDANCE.

When did you stop having BIG DREAMS? Dreaming about life goals is fun and powerful, like our childhood imagination of being a firefighter, nurse, or policeman. Speaking with a colleague, Dan Ison, we mused about why people stop DREAMING ABOUT THEIR BIG GOALS AND WISHES Dan works in finance and insurance but focuses on helping people achieve their dreams while having fun. He begins discussing with folks their ideas of fun combining that with big dreams. A lot people pooh pooh meeting financial folks. I get it.  I worked on Wall Street for a few years. My colleague Dan Ison is different. Look at him as the Jiminey Cricket of DREAMING, FUN and  PLANNING.  “ WHEN YOU WISH UPON A STAR, YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE. Rules for Dreaming: Keep your dreams private, because most folks won't support your dreams..Also  to protect them from negativity. Write down three daily actions that move you closer to your dreams (small steps matter). Create and regularly look at a vision board to visualize having what you want. Before bed, write three things related to your dream achievement. Many people dislike financial advisors, but Dan is like a positive guide (“Jiminy Cricket”) for dreaming, fun, and planning. Moreover It's okay to have multiple dreams. But stay focused on one or two at a time Three tips to achieve big dreams: Write your dreams down with pen and paper (not digital devices). Stay focused consistently. Use visual aids like photos, pictures, and videos to support your vision   Kundalini Yoga This is a cool yoga class for ABUNDANCE.. you must have an orange!!

Baseball Highlights Baseball players really travel—not just on airplanes, but through base stealing, fast home runs and belly sliding into bases.  https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkxb_tP9ueG5_vQzjlh8sLQVa-Gqp2TAlrA?si=ralLkZ1up1AsPn7W There's an uptick in dramatic belly slides, sometimes with painful consequences—like Ortega from the NY Yankees, who broke his ankle sliding into home plate.

Zach is joined by Leon Bañuelos, Jr., to discuss his family's storied tradition in tequila production and their new venture, Tequila El Mexicano. As part of the third generation of tequileros in his family, Leon discusses the process of building a new distillery from the ground up, the specialness of agave sourced from the highlands, and the three expressions (Blanco, Blanco 90, and Reposado) that are available in the United States.

On this episode of Whiskey Tequila Fridays, the Boys bring two bottles whose lengthy titles are only surpassed by the flavors they hold.  Two bottles that are truly Rum Barrel Baddies! Matt brings the Glenlivet Caribbean Reserve Single Malt Scotch Whisky and Drew brings the Yeyo Tequila Reposado Great Lakes Tequila Club Tropical Edition Private Barrel Pick.  I don't know about you all, but just saying all that makes me thirsty! This Glenlivet is everywhere, so scoop one up.  And while a Great Lakes Tequila Club pick may only be in the Chicago area, there is surely a Yeyo Tropical Reserve series reposado available near you. This is the perfect Friday to grab these two bottles, invite your friends, sip and listen along as the Boys discover one of the best QuickSips™ to date.  And, as always, Make It A Happy Friday™!!!

We dive into the incredible history of Fortaleza Tequila — from its roots in the Sauza family to its modern-day revival of a 19th-century microdistillery. Is this the best artisanal tequila you can buy today? Join Matt and Jason as they sip through Blanco, Reposado, and Añejo expressions, sharing tasting notes, regional history, and the TikTok-fueled hype that brought Fortaleza back into the spotlight.

It's tequila time on Whiskey@Work! Mark and Rob power through illness, questionable decisions, and Michael Jordan's oddly curvy bottle design to dive into Reposado tequila—specifically, Cincoro, MJ's premium (and possibly additive-packed) bottle. With special guest Adam Patton from The Box in Box Elder, we talk about how tequila is sneaking up on whiskey as the spirit of choice, what makes Reposado perfect for whiskey lovers, and why a sticky hand might mean your tequila isn't what it seems. Oh—and we're throwing a massive tequila-fueled party soon: Mountain West Fiesta Fest. Wrestling ring included. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Happy Friday, y'all!  Today the Boys fill up the zoom room with a special guest, a man who wears many hats with Altamar Brands: Director of Education, The Chief Sniffer & Taster, The Troll Under The Bridge, Brandon Cummins. Brandon supplies the Boys with bottles of High N' Wicked Bourbon and Rye and Lagrimas Del Valle 2024 La Loma Plata and Reposado.  Even though he was traveling while recording and forgot to pack his own, his knowledge and passion shine through as he guides the Boys through the tasting!  And, as usual when a guest stops by, there is some special news dropped you haven't heard anywhere else! Altamar Brands operates under an informal motto of "What The Fuckiness" which is a perfect match for WTF - Whiskey Tequila Fridays and its contribution to the world of spirits.  The Boys choose the Rye and Repo for the QuickSips™ and one direction in particular is a clear winner.  These bottles are fantastic on their own, and even better together.     So grab these four bottles, invite your friends, crack the seal, listen and sip along, and Make It A Happy Friday!™

It's Valentine's Day, so the Boys bring two bottles worthy of a romantic, expensive holiday! Matt brings The Macallan Harmony Collection Amber Meadow, a highland single malt.  It's a bottle that breaks the budget and it's so good, it breaks your heart!  Drew brings the Tequila Fortaleza 2024 Winter Blend Reposado, a highly coveted bottle he managed to pick up at suggested retail price.  That price will still have your wallet wilting like carnations on February 21st! The Boys wax philosophical on "The Macallan Effect" and dispel the myth that Fortaleza is the "Pappy of Tequila."  They discover two QuickSips™ that are some of the best to date, with one clear winner. These bottles are damn near impossible to find, but that's not a problem.  Invite your friends, open what you have, listen and sip along, and Make It A Happy Friday!™ 

Jeffrey Mosher welcomes Chris and Geri Andrews, natives of Metro Detroit, combined their love of music, a passion for travel and an appreciation of tequila into a new business venture this past year. Chris, an engineer, musician, and music producer, and Geri, who's had a long career in sales, marketing and finance, wanted to embark on a new passion project together. Chris has been a tequila fan for more than two decades, and the couple has traveled to Mexico a lot over the years. Developing their own tequila brand piqued their interest. They spent five years on this idea and formed Music Spirits, LLC, which is behind the tequila brand Música Tequila. Jeffrey had several questions for the couple: You spent five years on your business plan for Music Spirits to launch your own tequila brand, tell us about your journey. What type of approach did you take? What are your biggest challenges? You launched Música Tequila in May in both Michigan and Florida with three types of tequilas, let the Michigan business community know what three?: Blanco, Reposado and Añejo. Talk about your products. How are they unique than what is currently on the shelves? how important are holiday sales, etc? What differences do you see having a business in each of the two states? Música Tequila has received many international and national awards. Talk about that. Your bottle is quite eye catching. Talk about what went into this design and why? I read your mission goes beyond making a good drink. Please share how your mission is to support music? What are your future plans? » Visit MBN website: www.michiganbusinessnetwork.com/ » Subscribe to MBN's YouTube: www.youtube.com/@MichiganbusinessnetworkMBN » Like MBN: www.facebook.com/mibiznetwork » Follow MBN: twitter.com/MIBizNetwork/ » MBN Instagram: www.instagram.com/mibiznetwork/

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!  The Boys welcome you to another Holiday Edition of the 'cast, an attempt to repeat last year's "12 Minutes of Christmas" that fails by the clock, but excels with the bottles. Matt brings a single barrel he found in, of all places, the local grocery store!  The Jefferson's Reserve Single Barrel Bourbon is a smash hit! Drew brings the Suerte Tequila Great Lakes Tequila Club Single Barrel Reposado.  This one has been on the show before, but not with a suitable whiskey for the QuickSip™. You may not be able to find these exact bottles near you, but these are two brands with a long line of single barrels so an approximate replacement is not far away! The Holidays are best enjoyed with kith and kin, so invite your friends and family to sip these bottles, listen along, enjoy two fantastic QuickSips™, and Make It A Happy Friday™!

The crew reviews Bear Fight Bourbon Finished in Tequila Barrels by Next Century Spirits. This one is a Ky Straight Bourbon Finished in Reposado barrels. 

Today the Boys are honored to be joined by Doug Price of The Agave Social Club Podcast!  Doug quickly established his podcast as the go-to source for the stories and people behind our favorite tequila brands.  In this episode, Doug shares his story, as well as his behind-the-scenes knowledge of the tequila industry.  He and the Boys sip two beautiful spirits: Doug's own Single Barrel pick, the Volans Reposado Agave Social Club Single Barrel, which was aged in a used Basil Hayden barrel, and of course a Basil Hayden Toast Bourbon to complete the pairing. The conversation is lively and insightful, and the QuickSips™ are truly a perfect match.  While Doug's Volans Single Barrel sold out in just a few hours, you may find a pour at your local watering hole, or another Volans Reposado on your liquor store shelf. So listen and sip along, invite your friends, share a pour, and Make It A Happy Friday™.

Against a backdrop of explosive growth for tequila in the U.S., there remains a relative lack of classic and contemporary classic tequila cocktails — and that phenomenon is only amplified when you look beyond blanco and añejo and focus solely on reposado. This feels like an opportunity missed, so we decided to put things right and devote a discussion to mixing reposado in cocktails. Joining us as our tutor for the episode is William Brooks, Brown Forman's global brand ambassador for tequila. Whether you're looking to reimagine classics with reposado or construct something entirely new from scratch, we've got you covered. Listen on to learn William's tips — and don't forget to leave a rating, review, and subscribe! William Brooks' Gracias Mexico Recipe Ingredients - 1 Tequila Herradura reposado - 1 ounce fresh lemon juice - ¾ ounce Nixta Licor de Elote - ¼ ounce creme de cacao - ¼ ounce agave nectar - ¼ egg white - Garnish: grated nutmeg Directions 1. Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker without ice and dry shake. 2. Add ice and shake until well chilled. 3. Strain into a chilled Nick & Nora glass and garnish with a grated nutmeg.

As a native of Guadalajara, Victor Diaz has been surrounded by Tequila his own life. He has followed business ideas, and his innate tenacity gives him a drive like no other. After a fateful move to Austin Tx, he entered the hospitality industry at the legendary Maudie's TexMex restaurant. Here, whilst building relationships with patrons and fellow hospitality workers alike, the concept of Carabuena Tequila was born. Now, time has passed and the brand is growing at a meteoric pace. It sounds like the perfect time to release a Reposado and Añejo. We chat love, creativity, persistence, and more.

Forbes once described Jean-Charles Boisset as “The James Bond of Wine,” a title befitting of the Frenchman, who embodies elegance and sophistication. But at his core, Jean-Charles is fond of nourishing others and sharing his passion for high-quality beverage and food with anyone he encounters. Jean-Charles and his sister Nathalie lead the current generation of his family's business, Boisset Collection, a global company that owns dozens of wineries across the world, including in California, France, England and India. According to Forbes, Boisset Collection generates annual sales of around $200 million and has an estimated value of $450 million. While his primary business is wine, Jean-Charles is also a spirits entrepreneur whose latest project has reunited him with The Beckmann Gonzalez family, known for their extensive history in tequila, in particular as the creators of Jose Cuervo.  The partnership yielded Casa Obsidiana, an ultra-premium tequila brand that unites the collective expertise of its founding team. Created using estate-grown, 100% Blue Weber agave, the tequila is aged in French Oak wine barrels that once contained Chardonnay from a Boisset Collection winery in Napa Valley. Available in Blanco, Reposado, and Añejo expressions, the tequilas are bottled in Mexican-made hand-crafted ceramic bottles and feature the brand's namesake obsidian stone. In this episode, Jean-Charles speaks about how he identifies opportunities to innovate and why he emphasizes taste, not trends, when planning new business ventures and developing new products. He also discusses lessons from prior experience in the spirits industry and how historical context is at the heart of the company's communication strategy. Show notes: 0:35: Interview: Jean-Charles Boisset, Co-Founder, Casa Obsidiana – Jean-Charles talks about his childhood dream to become a professional soccer player and why he chose to join the family business instead and why he doesn't live with regret. He also shares his observations on the current market for beverage alcohol and state of drinking culture, how premiumization impacts innovation, how to create “extraordinary” products and why he stresses the importance of affordability and accessibility. He also explains how the history of the Beckmann Gonzalez family is at the core of Casa Obsidiana's brand story, the impact of/influence on finishing the tequila in wine barrels and why he and his team thought the artisanally-inspired bottles would be “a wild success or abject failure.” Brands in this episode: Casa Obsidiana, Lunazul, Jose Cuervo
