AMATITENA ANEJO 750ML

Recently named a UNESCO World Heritage site, the community of Amatitán, Jalisco, is home to the oldest recorded evidence of employing fermenters and stills to make agave spirits (aka vino de mezcal) in all of Mexico—particularly in the famous valley below the ancient Volcano Tequila. Embracing the future of that heritage by returning to tequila’s roots, Amatiteña aims to express this historic terroir with as much depth and integrity as possible. The brand is unique in today’s market: a single estate tequila, made exclusively using artisanal methods that date back to the early 19thcentury or before. Fifth-generation maestro tequilero Don Alberto Partida began distilling around the age of 11 or 12 at his family’s fabrica, Cava de Oro (NOM 1477). After achieving degrees in industrial engineering and tequila production, Alberto began experimenting—building on his family’s modern methods by incorporating older, historical techniques, or sourcing unusual barrels for aging, such as ex-French wine casks. Today, Alberto stands at the front lines of a growing tequila renaissance, a movement enamored with both historical distilling methods and the intricacies of terroir in agave.
