I am from: Los Altos (The Highlands), Jalisco, Mexico
The Story: Inspired by a family legacy that began a century ago, this family-owned distillery is a benchmark producer in Los Altos—the rugged, sun-drenched highlands of eastern Jalisco. The Highlands region is legendary because it holds the spirit's most prestigious terroir, thanks to its unique, ancient soils dominated by rich red clay and iron. High altitudes and sharp day-and-night temperature shifts blanket the estate, locking in vibrant sweetness while the highland terrain infuses the 6-to-7-year-old agaves with an unforgettable fruit-meets-mineral character. Bottled directly after distillation with zero oak intervention, it captures the raw, unadulterated essence of the pure highland agave plant.
Why You'll Love Me: It balances refreshing fruitiness with an incredibly seductive, savory edge. Fermented entirely in open-air tanks, it bursts from the glass with lively aromas of fresh lime zest, sweet cooked agave, green mango, and crushed stone dust. On the palate, it delivers a beautiful, silky medium body that is instantly cut by a laser-beam core of tart citrus and crisp black pepper spice. It gracefully sweeps into a long, complex finish defined by a mouthwatering saline minerality, a touch of wild herbal mint, and a signature hint of bright, earthy agave sweetness.
