Born in the Highlands, made in Tequila
The agave used for El Tequileño comes from the Los Altos region of Jalisco — a four hour truck ride away — where it is regarded as the premium growing region for the Blue Agave. The clay like red soil produces agave with more floral & fruity notes that yields a naturally higher sugar content. Despite the arduous journey, Don Jorge always felt there was no shortcut to making the best tequila
The agave is blended with the pure natural spring water straight from the Volcán de Tequila to create a fine tequila with exceptional taste.
