Twenty-five years ago, Master Distiller Don Carlos Padilla and his family planted their first agave in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico, with the intent of creating the first farm-to-glass tequila. He identified an ideal plot of land, using a simple divining rod to help him locate a volcanic-filtered natural spring over a quarter of a mile below the earth’s surface. That spring has served as the special ingredient to the distillation process of Tepozán tequila, which contains only water, agave and naturally occurring yeast from nearby fruit trees. The estate’s organically-grown blue agave is harvested by hand by local jimadors and meticulously processed using no additives of any kind. Called by some “Jalisco’s best-kept secret,” it was introduced on the American market in June of 2021, the result of Tepozan’s partnership with American restaurateurs and leaders in the farm-to-table movement Christopher Brandon and Matthew Hechter. This Anejo spends14 months in Kentucky White Oak Bourbon Barrels for full flavor with an evolved aroma and smooth taste of butterscotch, serrano pepper and smoked earth.
