Its defining step is the cooking: rather than the masonry ovens used for the standard Plata, the agave is slow-cooked in underground pit ovens (hornos) lined with firewood and volcanic stone — a pre-Hispanic technique closer to mezcal-making — which imparts a gentle, natural smoke. The spirit is then double-distilled in copper pot stills, made with a proprietary yeast, and bottled unaged at 45% ABV (90 proof) so the smoke and fresh agave stay in balance and the liquid stays crystal-clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n  \n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eAuthentication \u0026amp; Vault Preservation\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"details-content\"\u003e\n      \u003cp style=\"margin:0;\"\u003eMidnight Whiskey is an authorized retailer; every bottle is sold in its original packaging and inspected before it ships.
