Origins & Craftsmanship

Distilled at the historic La Alteña distillery in Arandas, Jalisco—established in 1937 and guided by the Camarena family—the production of this tequila is fiercely artisanal. Blue Weber agave is slow-roasted in traditional stone (hornos) ovens and crushed by the ancient two-ton tahona wheel, preserving agave fibers in the fermentation. Fermented in wooden vats using natural yeast, the spirit is double-distilled in copper pot stills and bottled to proof with no dilution afterward.

Aging

Aged for 9–11 months in ex-bourbon American oak barrels—often stripped of char—this aging process adds layered vanilla and caramel notes without overwhelming the agave core.
