Producer Notes: El Tequileno
El Tequileno is a drinks producer that is based in the town of Tequila, which is located in the state of Jalisco, Mexico. The company was founded in 1959 by Don Jorge Salles Cuervo, who was a master distiller with a passion for creating high-quality tequila. Today, El Tequileno is one of the most respected tequila producers in the world, known for its commitment to traditional methods and its dedication to producing tequila of the highest quality.
El Tequileno produces a range of tequilas, including blanco, reposado, and añejo varieties. Each of these tequilas is made using 100% blue agave, which is grown in the highlands of Jalisco. The agave is harvested by hand and then cooked in traditional brick ovens, which gives the tequila its distinctive flavor. After cooking, the agave is crushed and the juice is fermented using natural yeasts. The resulting tequila is then aged in oak barrels, which gives it a smooth, complex flavor.
One of the most famous tequilas produced by El Tequileno is its Platinum Blanco tequila. This tequila is made using the same traditional methods as the other El Tequileno tequilas, but it is not aged in oak barrels. Instead, it is bottled immediately after distillation, which gives it a crisp, clean flavor that is perfect for mixing in cocktails.
Another famous tequila produced by El Tequileno is its Reposado tequila. This tequila is aged for six months in oak barrels, which gives it a smooth, mellow flavor with hints of vanilla and caramel. It is perfect for sipping on its own or for mixing in cocktails.
In addition to its tequilas, El Tequileno also produces a range of other drinks, including mezcal, rum, and vodka. Each of these drinks is made using the same traditional methods and high-quality ingredients as the tequilas, and they are all known for their exceptional flavor and quality.
Overall, El Tequileno is a drinks producer that is dedicated to producing high-quality tequilas and other drinks using traditional methods and the finest ingredients. Whether you are looking for a smooth sipping tequila or a crisp, clean blanco for mixing in cocktails, El Tequileno has something to offer.

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.
