Product Description
El Tesoro Añejo Tequila undergoes a slow aging process in American oak ex-bourbon barrels for two to three years, allowing the spirit to develop a remarkable depth while retaining the essence of agave. The result is a smooth, full-bodied tequila that beautifully balances sweet agave with the complex flavours of oak, vanilla, and subtle red fruit notes. With its rich and smooth character, El Tesoro Añejo is perfect for those who appreciate a refined, yet bold, sipping experience. A true testament to the art of tequila-making.

Maker:
El Tesoro® Tequila is crafted with the passion and dedication of a family that has been perfecting their craft for over 80 years. Founded by Don Felipe Camarena in 1937, the La Alteña distillery in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico, has remained the heart of El Tesoro. His grandson, Carlos Camarena, continues to uphold the family legacy as Master Distiller, ensuring that every bottle embodies the spirit of the land and the people. With a deep respect for tradition, El Tesoro Tequila is made using the same methods that Don Felipe pioneered, including the use of fully ripened blue weber agave and the labor-intensive tahona stone to extract the juice. At La Alteña, it is not just about making tequila—it is an art form. The Camarena family, alongside a dedicated community of artisans, continues to create tequila with soul, bringing the essence of Jalisco’s highlands into every drop.
Philosophy/Distillery:
At the core of El Tesoro is a deep connection to the land and its people. The highlands of Jalisco, with their mineral-rich soil and unique altitude, are the perfect environment for growing blue weber agave, giving El Tesoro its signature fruity, floral flavours. The distillery, La Alteña, is nestled in the heart of Jalisco, where the craftsmanship and care that goes into every bottle are as important as the land itself. From sunrise to sunset, skilled jimadors harvest fully ripened agave, which takes six to nine years to reach peak maturity. These agave piñas are cooked in traditional hornos (ovens), then crushed using a two-ton volcanic tahona stone to unlock the essence of the agave’s natural sweetness.
El Tesoro takes pride in maintaining a commitment to traditional methods while ensuring each step in the production process—from fermentation to distillation—is carried out with the utmost care. The result is a rich, agave-forward tequila that honours the legacy of its founders, while pushing forward into the future with a spirit of innovation and excellence. El Tesoro is a true treasure, made by a family, for the world to experience and enjoy.
