Premium additive-free tequila “El Tequileño”
The name “Tequila” comes from the name of a small village called “Tequila,” about an hour’s drive from Guadalajara, Mexico’s second largest city after the capital.

Tony Sages, the 3rd generation master distiller of El Tequileño. In addition to producing tequila, in 2020 the hotel “Casa” will be opened next to the distillery.

Tequila has a strong image of being a punishment game or being drunk all at once, but if you choose the right type, it’s a very delicious and hard-to-get-drunk drink. It is a staple at fashionable American restaurants, and the trend toward premium food is increasing day by day.
El Tequileño’s premium tequila is 100% agave and contains no additives. Since it is not an adulterated product, you can enjoy the natural taste as it is.
Harvesting work in an agave field. It is difficult to carry the agave, which weighs as much as a woman’s weight, by hand.
The cactus-like “agave” (agave), which is the raw material, takes about six years to mature.
Each agave is harvested by hand and transported by car to the factory, which takes about three hours.
Slowly steam the sweet potatoes to bring out their sweetness. The sweetened agave juice is extracted and fermented with
agave-derived yeast in concrete fermenters.
Only three of all tequila factories have this concrete fermentation tank, and it is an important process that brings out the distinctive flavor of El Tequileño.
Fermentation takes place slowly in an open factory with no lid on. Natural yeast from over 150-year-old mango trees grown on the distillery grounds is naturally present in the tequila and is the secret to creating its tropical flavor.
After fermentation, it undergoes two distillation steps, is aged in barrels, and is then bottled and delivered to customers in Japan. Try a refreshing summer cocktail at a limited price!
During this period, you can enjoy cocktails made with premium tequila “El Tequileño” at a limited price in limited quantities.
