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. Rested patiently for 8 months in American white oak barrels, it beautifully bridges the crisp energy of the fields with the mellow wisdom of the wood.

Why You'll Love Me: It balances refreshing fruitiness with an incredibly seductive, oak-kissed edge. Emerging gently as the spirit breathes, it bursts from the glass with lively aromas of ripe orange zest, wild herbs, crisp red apple pulp, and warm vanilla. On the palate, it delivers a beautiful, silky medium body that is instantly cut by a laser-beam core of cooked agave sweetness and a touch of cinnamon spice. It gracefully sweeps into a long, complex finish defined by a mouthwatering buttery smoothness, a touch of ripe pineapple, and a signature hint of clean, soft oak wood.
