Tequila Los Abuelos is a renowned drinks producer that is based in the town of JesĂşs MarĂa, located in the state of Jalisco, Mexico.

The name “Los Abuelos” translates to “The Grandparents,” which is a nod to the family’s long-standing tradition of producing high-quality tequila.
Tequila Los Abuelos is known for its premium tequila, which is made using traditional methods and the finest blue agave plants. The company’s tequila is made using a slow-cooking process that involves roasting the agave in brick ovens for 72 hours.

In addition to its tequila, Tequila Los Abuelos also produces a range of other spirits, including mezcal and sotol. Mezcal is a distilled spirit that is made from the agave plant, while sotol is made from the Desert Spoon plant.

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.
