Our Tequilas
Tequila El Mexicano is a tribute to traditional tequila production with an exceptional attention to detail. Custom-made pot stills designed by our father, music in the fermentation room, traditional “low and slow” cooking process and open-air fermentation are all ways we honor the knowledge and passion of our elders. The result? Pure, authentic, tequila, where the only thing added is 3 generations of expertise.

The Process
Agave Selection
To obtain desired quality, we only select fully-matured agaves (6+ years old).
Slow Cook
Our agave is slow cooked in stainless-steel, low-pressure autoclaves for 18-24 hours.
Milling/Fermentation
We utilize a precise five-step roller milling process. Our fermentation room is harmonized with classical music to achieve uniformity and create the most harmonious environment for the yeast. Our 7+ day fermentation is one of the longest in the industry.
Distillation
We distill our tequila in small batches in custom pot stills. The stills were designed by our master tequila maker and meant to enhance the range of flavors & aromas.
Aging
Our Reposado is matured for 90 days in American & French White Oak barrels.
