I am from: Los Altos (The Highlands), Jalisco, Mexico

The Story: Produced at Casa San Matías, one of the oldest and most revered distilleries in Mexico, this estate-grown spirit is a benchmark producer in Los Altos—the rugged, sun-drenched highlands of Jalisco. The Highlands region is legendary because it holds the spirit's most prestigious heritage, thanks to its unique, ancient soils dominated by rich red clay that is bursting with iron. High altitudes and sharp day-and-night temperature shifts blanket the fields, locking in vibrant sweetness while the highland terrains infuse the hand-harvested agaves with an unforgettable fruit-meets-mineral character. Patiently slow-baked for 48 hours in traditional stone ovens and distilled at a low temperature, it preserves a beautifully authentic legacy.

Why You'll Love Me: It balances refreshing fruitiness with an incredibly seductive, savory edge. Fermented entirely in stainless steel with zero oak intervention, it bursts from the glass with lively aromas of fresh green apple, sweet cooked agave, orange blossom, 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 cracked black pepper. 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 rich, caramelized agave sweetness.
