She gave us some insight into her experiences at the Fortaleza bartender program last year &#8211; a trip that let her experience the hard work, craftsmanship and arts of creating Agave spirits first hand. (If you want to learn more about Fortaleza, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elixirofthegodspodcast.com\/?p=272\">listen to our episode with Don Guillermo here<\/a>.) She also shared some amazing spirits from her personal collection with us, one of them a &#8220;dusty bottle&#8221; of Herradura which gave Diego some serious goosebumps.  Enjoy! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Photos from the recording:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\"
