ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
El Tequileno is a distinguished tequila brand that hails from the town of Tequila in the state of Jalisco, Mexico, which is renowned as the birthplace of this beloved spirit. Founded in 1959, El Tequileno has built a reputation for quality and authenticity, remaining committed to traditional production methods that celebrate the heritage of tequila crafting.
El Tequileno produces its tequila using 100% blue agave sourced from the highlands of Jalisco, a region known for its ideal climate and soil conditions, which contribute to the superior quality of the agave plants. The production process begins with the careful harvesting of mature agave plants, which are then cooked in traditional stone ovens. This method enhances the natural sugars in the agave and adds depth to the spirit.
After cooking, the agave is crushed, and the juice is extracted for fermentation. El Tequileno employs a natural fermentation process that allows the unique flavours of the agave to develop fully. The tequila is then distilled in small batches using copper pot stills, ensuring that the final product showcases the rich flavours and aromas characteristic of high-quality tequila.
El Tequileno offers a variety of expressions, including Blanco, Reposado, and Añejo. The Blanco, or unaged tequila, is known for its pure, vibrant agave flavour, making it ideal for sipping or mixing in cocktails. The Reposado is aged for a minimum of two months in oak barrels, resulting in a smoother, more refined profile with hints of vanilla and caramel. The Añejo is aged for at least one year, allowing for a more complex flavour with rich notes of oak, spice, and dried fruit.
As a brand, El Tequileno has received numerous awards for its quality and craftsmanship, reflecting its dedication to excellence in tequila production. Its commitment to authenticity and tradition makes it a respected name within the tequila industry, appealing to both aficionados and newcomers alike. Whether enjoyed neat, in cocktails, or as part of a festive celebration, El Tequileno tequila represents a true taste of Mexico’s rich heritage.
