Tequila Arette NOM 1109
Tequila Arette
In the heart of Tequila, Jalisco, one of the town’s oldest working distilleries still stands. Inside El Llano, heritage isn’t preserved for display — it’s lived, daily, by the family who chose to protect it.
The Horse, the House, and the Spirit That Endures
El Llano was founded around 1900 by the Orendain family.
In the 1980s, brothers Eduardo and Jaime Orendain built Arette within these historic walls, honoring their lineage.
Named after a one-eyed Olympic horse that won against expectation, Arette represents resilience over perfection.
Inside El Llano — where heritage is still in motion.
Tequila Arette – Tequila, Jalisco (Valles Region)
How Character Is Crafted
Selected, Not Stripped
Only fully ripened agave is selected, ensuring depth, balance, and natural sweetness from the very beginning.
38 Hours in Volcanic Stone
Slow-cooked in brick ovens built with volcanic stone and agave fiber, allowing sugars to develop naturally — never forced.
Balanced Extraction
Roller mills are used intentionally — preserving traditional flavor while avoiding industrial shortcuts like diffusers.
Concrete and Wild Yeast
Fermented in open-air concrete tanks with native yeast, creating slow, stable, and complex development.
Only the Pure Heart
Extremely strict cuts keep only the cleanest heart of the distillation, producing small 600-liter batches with depth and clarity.
