Distillery Information

El Destilador is a brand produced by Destileria Santa Lucia, located in Zapopan, Jalisco. This 100% agave distillate is bottled unaged. Distilled from 100% blue Weber agave, it is typically unaged , clear, and bottled straight after distillation.
Exceptional quality premium tequila, El Destilador is triple distilled 100% pure blue agave produced and bottled by Corporativo Destileria Stana Lucia, S.A. de C.V. Established in 1946 by Senor Enrique Guillermo Newton Alexanderson, it has grown into one of the most respected Tequileras in the region.
The journey of blanco tequila begins in the sun-drenched fields of the Jalisco highlands and lowlands in Mexico, where the blue agave plant – tequila's sole botanical constituent – grows for between 6 to 10 years before reaching maturation.
This is a very nice sipping reposado and an excellent value for the price paid. I will buy another bottle if still in stock at OTL. However, Hi-Time Wines Cellars has the El Destilador Reposado in the new bottle design for sale at $17.99 and the anejo for sale in the old bottle design for $21.99.
Most Tequilas come from the state of Jalisco, where the actual town of Tequila, Mexico resides. For starters, in order for a spirit to be called “Tequila” it MUST come from one of five authorized states in Mexico: Guanajuato, Jalisco, Michoacan, Nayarit, or Tamaulipas.Tequila is a distilled spirit made from the cooked and fermented juice of the agave (pronounced 'Uh-Gah-Vee'), a spiky Mexican plant which resembles a cactus. Traditionally the process is labour intensive and artisanal – and many tequila distilleries still operate this way.
Tequila is typically distilled twice. The first distillation produces a cloudy liquid called the ordinario. The second distillation produces the clear silver tequila, which is then ready to be aged and bottled.
