A traditional symbol of goodwill and prosperity, the tepozán tree provides a safe haven to butterflies across Central Mexico. After more than 25 years spent carefully farming his own estate agave, maestro tequilero Carlos Padilla built and named his fabrica (distillery) Tepozán, after this delicate marriage of flora and fauna, determined to make a tequila of impeccable integrity and quality that walked a similar balancing act of its own. A true farm to glass Tequila.
Tepozán Tequila uses single-estate agave, grown with organic methods. Don Carlos’s agave is harvested by hand, cooked and milled for two days, and then fermented using wild, ambient local yeasts and well water from a deep volcanic spring located a quarter mile beneath the estate. Certified by Tequila Matchmaker as 100% Additive Free, the resulting “low intervention” tequila is at once quite modern in approach and deeply traditional in method.
Tepozán Añejo is aged for up to 14 months in Kentucky white oak Bourbon barrels. It's a full flavored añejo with touches of butterscotch, serrano chiles and smoked earth.
