El Tequileño Tequila Collection

About

The Historic Pride of Tequila, Jalisco Founded in 1959 by Don Jorge Salles Cuenca in the historic town of Tequila itself, El Tequileño (NOM 1108) stands as one of the most respected, authentic tequila houses in Mexico. Named in honor of the residents of Tequila, the distillery has maintained an unbroken legacy of family craft for over six decades. Today, under the guidance of Master Distiller Antonio Salles (Grandson of Don Jorge), El Tequileño remains one of the very few tequilas produced in its own dedicated, single-brand distillery ( La Guarreña ). Globally revered by agave purists and top bartenders for its 100% additive-free integrity, El Tequileño combines mature Highland agaves with pure, mineral-rich subterranean water sourced from the Volcán de Tequila. Distilled in traditional copper pot stills and fermented in open-air cement vats shaded by historic mango trees, every expression captures the vibrant, earthy spirit of Jalisco.
