El Mayor Tequila Reposado

I’m continually impressed by El Mayor’s ability to craft such exceptional tequila without taking any shortcuts, all while keeping their pricing accessible.

Here’s what stands out about El Mayor:

They use 100% Agave Tequila: A key distinguishing factor, meaning all the sugars used for fermentation come solely from the blue weber agave plant, ensuring a higher quality and more authentic tequila experience compared to mixtos.

Estate Grown Agave: El Mayor prides itself on using agave primarily from its own fields in the Jalisco Highlands, allowing them control over the quality of their raw material from plant to bottle.

Traditional Production: They use traditional methods, including baking the agave in masonry ovens (hornos) and crushing it with a roller mill, followed by fermentation and double distillation in pot stills.
