The distillery is celebrated for its traditional approach to tequila production, using estate-grown blue Weber agave harvested at peak maturity and slow-cooking them in brick ovens before crushing with a tahona stone. This meticulous process preserves the agave’s natural flavors and highlights the terroir unique to Arandas. Beyond their flagship El Tesoro tequilas, La Alteña crafts Tapatio and Villa Lobos tequilas, each expressing distinct profiles shaped by local water sources and fermentation techniques that reflect Jalisco’s highland character. Their commitment to small-batch methods and family stewardship has established La Alteña as a benchmark for authenticity within Mexico’s artisanal spirits landscape.
