Los Arango Tequila is an ultra-premium Mexican tequila brand, crafted entirely from 100% Blue Weber Agave. Its name pays direct tribute to the revolutionary hero José Doroteo Arango, globally known as "Pancho Villa". This tequila stands out for its traditional and artisanal production process at the historic Hacienda Corralejo, located in Pénjamo, in the state of Guanajuato (one of the few regions outside of Jalisco with a protected designation of origin). The Traditional Production Process Los Arango’s distinct aromatic profile and flavor come from a rigorous, slow-paced process: Harvesting: The agaves are hand-harvested only after reaching peak maturity, which takes between 8 and 12 years.Cooking: The piñas (the hearts of the agave) are slow-cooked in traditional clay (adobe) ovens for 38 hours. Unique Distillation: The liquid undergoes a very specific double distillation — first in a column still and then in a traditional copper pot still (Charentais style), which enhances its fruity and herbal notes. Presentation: Each bottle is crafted from hand-blown glass on-site, featuring an iconic genuine leather stamped label alongside metal and wood details. Main Varieties The Los Arango lineup is divided into three classic expressions, each defined by its aging profile: Los Arango Blanco: Bottled directly after distillation. It is a crystal-clear tequila with strong aromas of cooked agave, fresh notes of white pepper, citrus, and a saline, mineral touch on the palate. Ideal for premium cocktails or sipping neat. Los Arango Reposado: Aged for 6 months in American oak barrels. It features a light straw color with smooth notes of vanilla, caramel, and toasted wood blended with agave freshness and aromatic herbs. Los Arango Añejo: Aged for at least 13 months in American oak barrels that are charred on the inside. It develops a much higher complexity, blending velvety flavors of spices, caramel, vanilla, leather, and a subtly smoky character. Perfect for sipping slowly from a snifter glass. There are also a few special editions on the market, such as the Los Arango Coffee infused liqueurs. Rey Campero (meaning "King of the Countryside") is one of Mexico's most respected artisanal mezcal brands. Produced in Candelaria Yegolé, a small village in the southern highlands of Oaxaca, the project is led by maestro mezcalero Rómulo Sánchez Parada. The brand stands out for its preservation of ancestral methods and the massive variety of wild agaves that it bottles separately. The entire Rey Campero lineup follows a strictly artisanal process: Roasting: Agave hearts (piñas) are roasted in underground conical stone ovens for several days. Milling: Done traditionally using a horse-drawn stone wheel (tahona). Fermentation: Natural and spontaneous in outdoor wooden vats, using only wild yeasts. Distillation: Double-distilled in copper still pots. Present here: Rey Campero Mexicano: Crafted from Agave rodacantha, this expression delivers a more savory and robust profile, featuring smoked wood, dry grass, and a hint of espresso coffee. Rey Campero Tepextate: Made from a rare wild agave that takes 15 to 18 years to mature. It is famous for its immense complexity, bringing distinct vegetal notes (green bell pepper, jalapeño), white flowers, and a spicy kick. Rey Campero Madre Cuishe: Not to be confused with Cuishe, Rey Campero Madre Cuishe is made with another member of the agave karwinski family. Madre cuishe is a tall cylindrical agave with a dense core that's well known for producing mineral-rich mescal – this is no exception. Rey Campero Madre Cuishe has fruity notes of banana and sweet white chocolate, all spread over a stony base.
