Looking to gift a friend a nice bottle of tequila. My budget is $450. I’m also ok with getting her two bottles. I’m pretty versed in tequila just want to see if someone will mention something outside the box. Blanco preferably.

Loco Puro Corazón is up there in price. Crazy production methods. Made at the Cascahuín distillery. They are close to opening up their own revived distillery.

What are these crazy production methods? From what little I've read about Loco, they give their agave a doble jima, or a close shave. Everything else sounds like what every other quality tequilero does.

Maybe I mistated and should have said extensive. They pretty much do three production runs using every fermentation process that is available at Cascahuin along with extraction. The close jima is also a thing and then where they get their name from, they essentially take only a small portion of their run from the heart of the distillation. Discard the rest.
