For Mijenta, everything begins with quality. Their award-winning, sustainable tequila is distilled exclusively using fully mature Blue Weber agave from the highlands of Jalisco. For them, quality means using only agave, water and yeast. They use only the best ingredients and a meticulous process to capture all the nuances of the agave and the terroir of the region.

In the high-elevation microclimate of Arandas, the agave enjoys more sunlight while experiencing cooler nighttime temperatures. The soil has a high iron content, along with clay, lime and other elements that lend a minerality to this tequila. Their agave is designed by nature to develop the rich flavors and silky texture of their tequila.

When Mijenta ages their tequila, they don’t have a set time for how long it remains in the barrels. For them, it’s ready when it’s ready. They believe that barrel aging should complement the flavors of the agave, not overwhelm them. Their Blanco tequila is unaged and highlights the pure character of the agave. Reposado is aged in oak barrels for several months, developing notes of vanilla and gentle spice. Añejo is aged longer, resulting in a richer, more complex tequila with deeper caramel and oak flavors.
