Having been born in the Azores, I remember my father, grandfather, and uncles making Aguardente. They took great pride in sharing it with friends and relatives. I remember great stories told ringing with laughter over freshly distilled Aguardente.

It is my goal to keep up the tradition of the old country alive here, at my new home in California. At Slo de Vie Distillery, we distill local grapes, using our copper pot stills. We diligently cut away heads and tails and only the heart makes it to this bottle. It is our wish to see everyone happy raising a glass of Aguardente Blanco. Saude!
