Producer Information: Tequila Avión
Tequila Avión is based in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico, a region celebrated for its rich volcanic soil and ideal agave-growing conditions. The brand was founded in 2010 by Ken Austin, who sought to create an ultra-premium tequila that emphasized traditional craftsmanship and terroir. Tequila Avión’s production process centers on slow-roasting hand-selected Blue Weber agave in brick ovens, followed by small-batch distillation and meticulous filtration to achieve purity and smoothness. This approach highlights their commitment to quality at every stage, from field to bottle.
Beyond their flagship Silver, Reposado, and Añejo tequilas, Tequila Avión offers a diverse portfolio that includes extra-aged expressions such as Avión Reserva 44 and limited-edition releases like Avión Cristalino. The brand has also experimented with unique barrel finishes to enhance complexity and flavor depth. While primarily focused on tequila made exclusively from Blue Weber agave, Tequila Avión has collaborated with mixologists for specialty bottlings tailored for cocktail culture. Their innovation within the premium spirits category has positioned them as a key player among luxury tequila producers globally.

Tequila is a distilled spirit made primarily from the blue agave plant (Agave tequilana), predominantly produced in the Jalisco region of Mexico, along with some areas in Guanajuato, Michoacán, Nayarit, and Tamaulipas. This unique spirit undergoes a meticulous distillation process, typically involving double distillation in pot stills or column stills. Tequila is categorized into several types based on its aging process: Blanco (unaged or aged less than 2 months), Reposado (aged between 2 months and 1 year), Añejo (aged between 1 and 3 years), and Extra Añejo (aged over 3 years). Each type offers distinct flavor profiles ranging from fresh and herbal to rich and complex.
The flavor and aroma of tequila vary significantly across its categories. Blanco tequilas are known for their crisp texture with fresh citrus notes, peppery hints, and agave sweetness. Reposado tequilas present a softer profile with vanilla and caramel undertones derived from oak aging. Añejo varieties boast richer flavors such as chocolate, coffee, and dried fruit alongside pronounced oak influence. Extra Añejo tequilas deliver complex layers of deep wood characteristics combined with smoothness. Tequila is versatile in cocktails; it serves as the base for popular drinks like Margaritas, Tequila Sunrises, Palomas, and various craft cocktails that highlight agave spirits.
