Mr. Jorge Salles Cuervo, raised in a family with a broad tradition of tequila making, started making his own brand of tequila, "El Tequileño" on January 1st, 1959, manufactured in his factories, "La Guarreña" and "La Regional" in Tequila, Jalisco.

As time passed, El Tequileño achieved the recognition as one of the best tequilas in Mexico, due to its quality control, the advantage of growing its own agave in the best field in the region, and the guarantee that it will always have the same high quality, flavour and texture. It was thought that only the Mexicans knew of the products quality, but it seems that it’s fame has spread with the growth of the ex pat Mexican population in the US and from UK and European visitors to Mexico.

El Tequileno Blanco

El Tequileno Blanco


Bottled immediately after distillation, after blending with the local spring water. This is truly fabulous sipping Tequila. Don’t take my word for it, ask any Mexican of drinking age and they will tell you. Drink neat, with Soda or as part of a cocktail. This Tequila makes probably the best Margarita available.



El Tequileno Especial Reposad

El Tequileno Especial Reposado


Aged for up to 3 months in Old Oak American Whisky barrels, the time spent in the barrel gives this light golden coloured reposado tequila it’s distinctive taste. Smooth yet complex, the especial reposado has all the natural sweetness of the Agave honey, but the woodiness, characteristic of a Tequila aged for much longer. This is the Mexicans choice.



El Tequileno Especial Gran Reserva Reposado

El Tequileno Especial Gran Reserva Reposado


Aged for 11 months in Old Oak American Whisky Barrels, the Gran Reserva has all the body and flavour of a much longer aged tequila. By the fact that quality control is very tight, the agave is grown on their own plantations and only the best product is aged, means that this Tequila is truly a god amongst tequilas. Smooth Finish, woody on the palate and sweet and characterful this is a tequila that has to be tasted.
