Today he produces Tequila Fortaleza there using 100% stone-milled agave, entirely produced on the estate which lies right in the middle of the town of Tequila.

A new entrant into the Tequila market comes from a joint venture between Moët Hennessy and the Gallardo family. Using only lowland Blue Weber agaves, production is overseen by Master Distiller, Anna María Romero Mena. 'Cristalinos' are the latest trend in premium tequila. They're matured in American oak, then charcoal filtered to remove any colour. The result looks like a Blanco but tastes and smells like a Reposado. Volcan De Mi Tierra's expression is a blend of anejo and extra anejo tequilas aged for four months with different cask finishes, including whisky and cognac.

Refreshingly young and cheeky: Padre Azul Blanco is the distilleries youngest tequila, and yet the agaves used for this have to grow and thrive for 8 to 10 years before they can be harvested and processed. This bottle contains the concentrated power of almost 10 years of Mexican sun. At the same time, their tequila is one of the spirits with the lowest calorie content. Tequila Blanco is bottled immediately after distillation. As a result, it retains its incomparable taste of fresh agave and its surprisingly mild and pleasant aroma, perfect for unforgettable, magical moments. Be young and sassy with Padre Azul Blanco.

Established in 1870, Casa Herradura, located at Hacienda San Jose del Refugio, is the last tequila-producing Hacienda on the planet.

As you sip you will enjoy and discover more fruits with some floral undertones. Super smooth and creamy with a wonderful banana and coconut finish. A very sophisticated sipping tequila.

A highland tequila, Don Fulano is made from 100% estate grown mature blue agave cooked in autoclave ovens, naturally fermented in open tanks using wild and cultivated yeast, and distilled in approximately 80% copper pot still and 20% copper, double column still. The spirit is distilled to 50% to 55% then cut with demineralised water from a deep well in the distillery. The tequila is non-charcoal filtered and contains no additives. The Blanco is a bright and colourful expression of highland agave. Fresh and bright on the nose yet profound with beautiful elegance. There is harmony between a wide spectrum of aromas that only mature agave offers; a myriad of delicate floral and fruity notes is balanced by a light herbaceousness. Reminiscent of damp red soil it opens the senses and awakens the appetite. Flavours of grilled pineapple with hints of white pepper almost makes you want to chew it, with underlying notes of butterscotch and an almost oily viscosity on the finish.

Rooted in principles of quality and accessibility, Teremana embodies the spirit of Mana, a powerful force that inspires us to foster good energy, bring people together and do the right thing.

A testament to Don Julios patience and determination for superior quality, Tequila Don Julio Añejo is the culmination of distinct rich flavours of agave balanced with the perfect amount of wood influence.

As with the rest of the Don Julio range the nose is fruity and floral, but with notes of vanilla and fresh agave, whilst the palate is slightly richer and more full bodied, yet still sweet and rich with citrus characteristics.
