Angelisco is a family by choice. Our individual stories may vary, culturally and historically, but we unite to create a timeless spirit. Angelisco Tequila is produced in the Highlands of Jalisco, Mexico, from blue weber agave grown in the mineral rich, deep red clay soil within the Golden Triangle of the Los Altos region. Nurtured by the hands of the Aceves family, with over 100 years of craftsmanship, Angelisco provides the finest of premium, small-batch Tequilas.
The golden triangle is a region in the highlands of Jalisco, at a 6,000 foot elevation, known for producing some of the finest tequilas in Mexico.
Red clay, mineral-rich soil, and cooler temperatures, allow for the growth of larger agaves, with a higher sugar content.
Highlands tequilas are naturally sweeter, more fruit-forward, and tropical in flavor.

Five bartenders who built a fierce camaraderie in saving up money to open Cinco, their own restaurant and bar focusing on Mexican spirits and Oaxacan cooking.
After opening Cinco and finding out about the "1% Rule" in the tequila category, they wanted to bring an all-natural, premium quality tequila, with no additives, to the world.
A partner in Cinco and Angelisco, Hernan is from Oaxaca, Mexico.
He came to the US as a teenager to provide for his mother and siblings back home.
He is now part owner of Cinco and Angelisco, and in 2018 made his first trip back to Mexico after becoming a U.S. citizen.
Cinco currently employs 13 members of Hernan's family.
