MUENSTER, Texas, May 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Blue Weber Agave is traditionally associated with tequila, which is why the founders of Round 2 Spirits, a new Texas-based venture focused on developing innovative, disruptive, and iconic new spirits brands, knew they had something truly special when crafting Weber Ranch 1902 Vodka, exclusively distilled from this noble plant. Now making its way to bars, restaurants, and retailers across the U.S., Weber Ranch Vodka marks a significant departure for a spirit commonly made from wheat, corn, or potatoes that take just a few months to harvest and use mass industrial methods, compared to Blue Weber Agave which takes up to seven years to mature and is hand-harvested in Jalisco, Mexico.
