Sippable Blanco Tequilas

Carlos Camarena and Dale Sklar join forces to bring us Villa Lobos Tequila. Originally produced for the UK market, there was no way that they could keep a new offering from Carlos Camarena from the US. Produced via old school production methods using only the ripest of agave, it is rested for 6 months in steel tanks after distillation. Additive free.

Tapatío Tequila is produced at La Alteña Distillery in Jalisco, Mexico, where the Camarena family has been making tequila since 1937, much of it originally for local consumption. The brand is a joint project between master distiller Carlos Camarena and Marko Karakasevic of Charbay Winery & Distillery in Napa. Made with 100% estate-grown blue weber agave, the piñas are roasted for four days, fermented with a proprietary yeast, and double-distilled in copper pot stills. The tequila then rests in stainless steel for about six months before bottling. Additive-free.

Released in September 2016, this blanco tequila is San Matias's first tequila made entirely with the tahona process. They use a tahona (large stone wheel) to "gently" crush the cooked piñas which were slow-cooked for 48 hours in brick ovens. The juice is fermented in pine vats before it is double-distilled in copper pot-stills. Bottled unaged at 40% ABV.

Casamigos is a tequila brand created by friends George Clooney, Rande Gerber, and Mike Meldman. They have chosen NOM 1416 (Productos Finos de Agave) to be where this tequila is made and agaves from the Highlands of Jalisco are chosen for distillation. Their blanco rests for 2 months in stainless-steel before bottling at 80 proof.

1 2 3 (to be pronounced “Uno, Dos, Tres”) is a tequila brand that was founded by David Ravandi. It is certified organic by both the USDA and the EU. The unaged “Uno” uses 100% blue agave sourced from the Tequila Valley (Lowlands). The bottles are made from 100% recycled glass, with the labels printed on 100% recycled paper. Soy ink is used for the printing.
