History,
"La Alteña" distillery is founded by Don Felipe Camarena Hernández in July 7, 1937, and in 1940 began selling tequila 100% Blue agave with the brand name "Tapatío".
In 1990 is launched the brand "El Tesoro de Don Felipe" with tequilas especially designed for international markets.
In July 7, 2007 (07-07-07), the company reached 70 years of its foundation and a tribute was paid to the three generations that, during this period, have shaped and strengthened not only a distillery, but a family that currently remains an icon of artisanal quality.
In July 2012 we proudly celebrated 75 years of growth in which we thanked friends, employees, collaborators, suppliers and consumers for their support and loyalty.
We invite you to join us and keep making history. Bless you!
Tasting Notes,
Nose: The first impression is herbal with hints of mint and anise, followed by white pepper and spices (cinnamon and clove); mild citrus notes. If allowed to breathe in the glass, apple and floral notes appear.
Palate: Cooked Agave, mint, pepper, with a residual sweetness (white chocolate) and slightly herbaceous. Presents a long final, spicy and sweet at the same time. Very complex and rounded.

Please sip me
An excellent blanco for the price. When I tell people that you can sip blanco tequila, I give them a bit of this. I haven’t tried it in a margarita but I am curious. The fact that there are no additives in this tequila and has a very mellow bite shows how great the distiller is.
