REGION: Jalisco

Founded by Pablo Laura in 2009, Santanera is an independent tequila brand aimed at reviving organic and sustainable farming practices with a deep focus on unique terroir and transparency in all details of production.

Formed as a partnership with famed maestro tequilero Felipe Camarena, Don Vicente Tequila is one of a small number of acclaimed brands leading what could aptly be described as the New Wave of modern tequila, straddling a distinct space between family heritage and inspired futurism.

Created in a collaboration between Altamar Brands and La Cofradía Fabrica (NOM 1137) situated in Tequila’s lowlands, ElVelo is an uncompromising mixing tequila.

In 2014, Rio Chenery returned to his family home in Jalisco and founded Estancia, aiming to bring unique Mexican distillates, like the ones he grew up around, to international audiences. Beginning with Raicilla, Rio has expanded the scope of the brand to include distillates from all over Mexico.
