Lightly citrus on the nose, this tequila has a creamy mouth feel which is sweet and full of fresh, peppery agave flavours
" El Tesoro de Don Felipe is probably the world’s most highly decorated tequila. This blanco tequila is rested for less than 24 hours after distillation to ensure absolute freshness. It is distilled to exactly 40% abv, no water added to dilute to bottling strength. Creamy and sweet with fresh peppery agave character, this is the original Tequila used to create the Tommy’s Margarita, the classic cocktail containing agave syrup, El Tesoro and lime juice first made at Tommy’s Bar in San Francisco.

Don Felipe Camarena was born into a family that had distilled tequila since back in the early 1800s. The family’s original distillery was destroyed and abandoned during the Mexican Revolution. Don Felipe began his career by growing and selling agave plants to other distillers. But since tequila making was in his blood, he started distilling his own tequila, selecting only the ripest plants and using equipment from his family’s original distillery.
In 1937, Don Felipe opened La Altena Distillery in a mountainous region of Jalisco, Mexico, known for producing the best blue agave. He located the distillery near springs so that the boilers used to heat the ovens that cook the agave would have a constant source of fuel. His passion for doing things just right inspired his family to continue handcrafting the world’s finest tequila — El Tesoro — so it could be enjoyed by future generations, too.
