El Tesoro Tequila

A Connoisseur's Tequila made by Craft Artisans: El Tesoro

What is El Tesoro?

From Arandas, Jalisco in the heartlands of Mexico, El Tesoro Tequila is a renowned spirit brand that is fervently celebrated not just for its credentials as a 100% agave tequila but further, for the time-honored methods through which it is crafted. With a portfolio that spans Blanco, Reposado, Extra Añejo, and more exquisite variants, each bottle of El Tesoro pays homage to traditional manufacturing methods. Prized for a flavor profile that embodies the rich, natural sweetness of perfectly ripe agave, El Tesoro manages to stay authentic and remarkably distinct even amidst an increasingly crowded market where premium tequilas abound.

What is the history of El Tesoro?

The history of El Tesoro traces back to 1937 when the ingenious Don Felipe Camarena began distilling tequila at La Alteña Distillery, a facility that still produces El Tesoro today, overseen now by his grandson, Carlos Camarena. Upholding a legacy that spans 80 years, El Tesoro remains steadfast in its commitment to time-honored techniques that are increasingly rare in modern tequila production. Agave harvested by skilled jimadors, a clay oven to cook the agave, use of a two-ton volcanic stone tahona wheel to extract the juices, and fermentation with natural airborne yeasts are just a few of the processes that anchor El Tesoro in its old-world tradition. This assiduous adherence to traditional craftsmanship has resulted in El Tesoro earning a slew of accolades over the years, with a significant distinction being one of the highest-rated tequilas in the world. Indeed, with each sip, you taste not just tequila, but the heritage, craftsmanship and passion that is El Tesoro. Read Less
