Soft vanilla characteristics lightly influence the sweet, agave, peppery flavour that made El Tesoro world famous
" El Tesoro de Don Felipe is probably the world’s most highly decorated tequila. Entirely hand-made, the distillery can run without electricity. Reposado tequila can be aged anywhere up to 12 months, and in this case it’s almost as old as can be – 11-12 months - to allow the ex Jack Daniel’s and Woodford Reserve whiskey wood to soften the Tequila and add vanillin's and smooth character. It is distilled to exactly 40% abv, so there is no water added to dilute to bottling strength. "

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.
