Tequilas – The Art of Refined Agave​

What is tequila and why is it so beloved?

Tequila is Mexico’s most iconic spirit, made exclusively from blue agave (Agave tequilana Weber). It is protected by a strict designation of origin and must be produced in specific regions, primarily the state of Jalisco. Crafted through a patient and traditional process, tequila begins with agaves that take 7 to 10 years to mature, followed by artisanal distillation. Styles range from blanco (unaged) to reposado (aged 2–12 months) to añejo (aged at least 1 year). Tequila’s appeal lies in its balance of purity, herbaceous freshness, citrus, spice and mellow fruit notes—making it a refined and complex spirit. Far from its party image, today’s premium tequila is a drink of contemplation and craftsmanship, championed by dedicated producers.

Don Julio – The gold standard of Mexican refinement

Founded in 1942, Don Julio is a historic and prestigious house that redefined premium tequila. With its focus on meticulous agave selection, high-altitude cultivation and detailed distillation, Don Julio set the benchmark for modern tequila. Each expression reflects a deep commitment to quality and elegance, offering smooth textures and a complex aromatic palette. It remains one of the most respected tequila houses worldwide.

Volcán de mi Tierra – Modern tequila rooted in terroir

Inspired by the legendary Tequila volcano, Volcán de mi Tierra explores the full potential of Mexican agave terroirs. By blending highland agaves (floral and light) with lowland agaves (earthy and spicy), the house crafts balanced and expressive tequilas. A slow fermentation and controlled distillation preserve the agave’s aromatic integrity. Volcán embodies a new generation of tequila—thoughtful, authentic and globally minded.

Código 1530 – Pure, artisanal elegance

Once a private reserve in Mexico, Código 1530 is now a respected boutique house producing additive-free tequilas from fully mature agave. Aging in French oak barrels that previously held wine adds depth and finesse. The result is a tequila of rare clarity, subtle power and discreet luxury—crafted for those who appreciate honest, precise spirits rooted in tradition.
