tequila sarabia

During our quest over the past few days we came accross Tequila Sarabia. One reason that we were inspired to write about this brand is the fact that it is quite obscure. After searching all over the web, we were amazed at how little information there is available.
Eduardo Sarabia is from Los Angeles, California and travels between the US, Berlin, Germany and Guadalajara, Mexico where he lives now. According to jameswagner.com he is reportedly "influenced by the intricate poetics of the black market and northern Mexican folklore. His current work creates romantic visual narratives in regards to illegal matter, fine arts and commerce".
Eduardo founded Tequila Sarabia in Guadalajara, Mexico. Since 2002, Sarabia had been researching the traditional distillation process of tequila and developed 3000 liters of his own brand. Made from 100% pure agave from the highlands of Jalisco, Tequila Sarabia offers 3 distinct types of premium tequila, Silver, Gold and Añejo. Each one is bottled in a unique hand made bottle that has a beautifully painted ceramic cap. Each bottle has a certificate of authenticity. In 2006, Eduardo Sarabia sent 300 liters to Berlin, Germany and opened Salon Aleman, a tequila bar/artist project. There did not seem to be very much information available about this project either.
We plan to continue our search for a bottle of Tequila Sarabia so we might see it and taste it for ourselves. If any of you out there know anything more about Eduardo's unique brand,, please let us know.
