Felipe Camarena’s Destileria El Pandillo is arguably one of the most progressive, sustainable, and highly regarded distilleries in all of tequila. Located in the mountain town of Jesús-María in tequila’s highest-altitude region, the distillery produces tequilas from stressed hillside agave that has been slow roasted and fermented with fibers using captured rainwater. A unique aeration process before bottling oxygenates the tequila, softening sharper aromas and concentrating the rich, roasted agave notes.
