Blanco

Angelisco Tequila

Estate-grown Blue Weber agave and water are the only two ingredients used in Angelisco Tequila. Due to the optimal growing conditions, Highlands tequilas are naturally sweeter, more fruit-forward, and tropical in flavor. 100% additive free, Angelisco focuses on creating quality Tequila at an amazing value, rather than the perception of quality at an inflated price. To craft our tequilas, we use approximately 8 kilos of agave per liter of tequila. As a reference, entry-level 100% Agave tequilas often use about 3 kilos of agave per liter.

Angelisco Tequila

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.

In a brown paper bag

  • One of the main factors that determines quality in tequila is how many kilos of agave are used per liter.
  • Angelisco uses a premium 8 kilos of agave per liter of tequila.
  • As a reference, entry-level 100% Agave Tequilas use 1-3 kilos per liter
  • We are able to offer Angelisco at a lower price than other premium tequilas by using a minimalist, bar-friendly bottle, recycled paper label, and eco-friendly cap.
  • We focus on quality at an amazing price rather than the perception of quality at an inflated price.

Arandas, Jalisco

A Highland Tequila from Arandas

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.

On this side of the border

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.
