Tapatío Tequila is one of the best-kept secrets in agave spirits—though it's no secret among bartenders, agave experts, and serious tequila drinkers. Produced at the famed La Alteña Distillery by Master Distiller Carlos Camarena, Tapatío represents a purist’s approach to tequila: no additives, no shortcuts, just time-honored technique and deep agave flavor.
Made from 100% estate-grown Blue Weber agave in the Highlands of Jalisco, Tapatío is known for its bold, cooked agave profile, long fermentation, and careful distillation. Every bottle captures the soul of traditional tequila-making, resulting in a spirit that’s as rewarding to sip as it is to mix.
At The Bourbon Concierge, we proudly carry Tapatío’s core lineup, including its expressive Blanco, silky Reposado, and beautifully aged Añejo.
What Makes Tapatío Stand Out?
La Alteña Distillery has been producing tequila since 1937 and remains one of the most respected names in the industry. Carlos Camarena, a third-generation distiller, is renowned for his dedication to preserving the old ways—brick ovens, slow fermentation, copper stills, and long aging in used American oak barrels.
Tapatío is made without diffusers, additives, or artificial smoothing agents. That means what you taste in the glass is the true essence of the agave, brought to life by time, technique, and terroir.
Explore the Tapatío Lineup
- Tapatío Blanco – Unaged and unfiltered, this highland blanco is earthy, peppery, and vegetal with a long, spicy finish. A favorite among bartenders for its mixability and structure.
- Tapatío Reposado – Aged four to six months in ex-bourbon barrels, the reposado adds notes of vanilla, cinnamon, and light oak without overshadowing the agave.
- Tapatío Añejo – Aged 18 months, this añejo is elegant and mellow, with warm caramel, dried fruit, roasted agave, and baking spice. Perfect for sipping neat.
- Tapatío Excelencia Extra Añejo – Occasionally available in limited quantities, this long-aged expression delivers exceptional richness and depth for those who appreciate an extended maturation.
All Tapatío tequilas are bottled at slightly higher proof than average, giving them greater structure, boldness, and a more intense agave character—qualities that true aficionados will appreciate.
A Tequila That Honors Tradition
Tapatío isn’t chasing trends or fame. It’s the kind of tequila you pour when you want to taste something real—something rooted in generations of skill and respect for the land. Whether you're exploring tequila for the first time or deepening your agave journey, Tapatío offers a soulful, satisfying experience in every glass.
