Our Tequilas & Mezcals
WHAT IS THENOM ?
The Norma Oficial Mexicana (NOM) applies
to all processes and activities related to the
supply of agave, production, bottling,
marketing, information, and business
practices linked to the distilled alcoholic
beverage known as tequila. Tequila must be
produced using agave of the species
Tequilana Weber Blue variety, grown in the
federal states and municipalities indicated
in the Declaration. Furthermore, the NOM
establishes the technical specifications and
legal requirements for the protection of the
Appellation of Origin of "Tequila" in
accordance with the current General
Declaration of Protection of the Appellation
of Origin of "Tequila", the Law, the Industrial
Property Law, the Federal Consumer
Protection Law and other related legal
provisions. All authentic, regulated tequilas
will have a NOM identifier on the bottle. The
important laws since 1990 were NOM-006SCFI-1993, the later update NOM-006SCFI-1994, and the most recent revision in
late 2005, NOM-006-SCFI-2005. The number
after NOM is the distillery number, assigned
by the government. NOM does not indicate
the location of the distillery, merely the
parent company or, in the case where a
company leases space in a plant, the
physical plant where the tequila was
manufactured.
TRIANON SMALL BATCH TEQUILA 80˚; NOM # 1500 CENTRAL LOWLANDS
750ML ONLY AND STACKABLE 375ML; BLANCO, ANEJO, REPOSADO
“IT’S NOT THE BARRELS THAT MAKE OUR REPOSADO.
IT’S THE BLANCO.” Blanco: It’s incomparably smooth taste is made possible only through
the sacrifice of both the head and tail of the tequila, bottling only the virgin distilled heart
of Blue Weber Agave. Reposado: We rest our Blanco in specially made American and
French Oak barrels for six months—four months longer than Mexican law requires. Anejo:
We age our Blanco a full eighteen months in specially made American and French oak
barrels to make Trianon Añejo. Because that’s how long it takes to strike the perfect
balance between the taste of oak and agave.

DON DIEGO SANTA 80˚; NOM # 1124 ARANDAS, JALISCO
750ML ONLY; REPOSADO, BLANCO
Our agave is grown at higher altitude for eight to ten years before it acquires the desirable sugar that allows for
maximum fermentation by natural yeasts from the same fields as which the agave is grown. After cooking the
agave and extracting the “agave nectar”, the fermented liquid is double distilled for absolute purity while retaining
the essence of the agave soul. It is aged in oak barrels in order to produce our Reposado and Añejo varieties. The
creation of Don Diego Santa Tequilas is done by one of the oldest and most highly respected distilleries, Destilería
de la Plata, in Guadalajara, State of Jalisco. Don Diego Santa Tequilas have a limited production due to their
handcrafted process.
They are also Kosher certified.
ALMA 80˚; HIGHLANDS, JALISCO NOM # 1504
750ML ONLY; BLANCO, ANEJO, REPOSADO
The finest 100% blue Weber agave, cultivated from the shores of Lake Chapala, a region of Mexico
known for the quality of its maguey plants, rich in minerals with a unique and distinct character.
Our natural fermentation results in a purer and longer process without the use of any enhancers,
chemicals or artificial coloring to expedite our fermentation. The agave comes from our very
own plantations where our experienced ‘jimadores’ select the highest grade of agave, the ‘heart
and soul’ of a good tequila. We carefully analyze each plant, making sure they are at the best
mature age, free of pesticides with perfect sugar levels.
ORO AZUL 80˚; NOM # 1079, LOS ALSTOS, JALISCO
750ML ONLY; BLANCO, ANEJO, REPOSADO
Blanco – straightforward, this silver tequila is heavy with green agave notes and some woodland
character — pine and cedar bark. A touch of sweetness on the finish does little to cut through the bite,
which finishes on a lasting and lightly bitter note. Reposado – this tequila, rested in oak for six months,
tempers the vegetal notes and subs in caramel and a little vanilla. Much more easy drinking than the
Anejo – This tequila spends two long years in oak, giving it a nicely dark color and some rich flavors of
caramel, whiskey-infused vanilla. The Anejo can’t shake that bitter edge, but at least it’s on the lighter
side here, leaving this tequila — a bargain among anejos at just $32 a bottle — easily the best of the
bunch.
HACIENDA VIEJA 80˚; NOM # 1412, ARANDAS, JALISCO
750ML ONLY, REPOSADO, BLANCO, DON FELIX
Don Felix Anejo (named for the Banuelos family patriarch
and founder of the distillery) is aged for well over the
minimum one year that is required. Don Felix provides the
ultimate experience for those who wish to sip and savor a truly
unique and special spirit. Hacienda Vieja Reposado is
rested for 90 days in new White American Oak barrels. This
outstanding tequila earned a rating of 90 points and a "Best
Buy" from the Beverage Testing Institute in September, 2011.
One of the smoothest tequilas on the market.
CASA 1921 80˚; NOM # 1535, ARANDAS, JALISCO
750ML ONLY; BLANCO, ANEJO, REPOSADO, & CREAM LIQUER
1921 Tequila combines both traditional and new age processes to produce its extraordinary tequilas. Production starts with harvesting only
the finest blue agave, the most prized of all agave plants. The piñas are then baked using a three-step cooking process which prevents the agave
from burning and developing unpleasant flavors. The shredded piñas are then pressed rather than ground in order to gently extract the most
juice while leaving the fibers behind. This process is followed by a double fermentation process which differentiates 1921 from other producers.
This double fermentation, which takes over a week to complete, endows 1921 Tequila with a smoothness and spectrum of flavors not found
elsewhere. Double distillation in pot stills is the final step. Unlike other producers which use higher temperatures and a faster pace, the 1921
distillation method occurs slowly under cool and controlled temperatures resulting in a more aromatic tequila free of fats and undesirable
compounds. The tequila that will be aged to reposado and añejo is then filtered and transferred to new charred American oak barrels.
TRIBUTO A MI PADRE 80˚; NOM # 1513, TEQUILA, JALISCO
750ML ONLY; ANEJO, ANEJO EXTRA, BLANCO, REPOSADO
Is it the beauty of its natural features? The traditions carried down by its people? Or the praise and
recognition it receives from the rest of the world? For the Tierra de Agaves Distillery, and the home of
Tributo Tequila, it's all of these, and more. It's good to know where you come from. In the
picturesque central-pacific of Mexico lies the colonial town of Tequila, and our home, Tierra de
Agaves. The estate itself was founded in 2004 by Francisco Beckmann, though we've been working
these grounds for over eight generations, as long as the history of Tequila itself. Our estate includes a
vast agave reserve and our centrally-located distillery and bottling facility. Having every part of the
Tequila making process in one place ensures that we can closely monitor every facet of its
production—from the field, to the factory, to the bottle.
PORFIDIO 80º; JALISCO (NO NOM #)
750ML ONLY; (when available)
Over twenty years later, Martin Grassl, the
man behind Porfidio Tequila continues to
produce his products. Battle after battle in
Mexico and in the US, Martin has retained
his unique trademark and is able to
continue with the production of Porfidio.
(Export does not have a NOM)
RANCHERO 100% AGAVE 80˚; NOM # 1460 JALISCO
LITRES ONLY; SILVER AND GOLD
An economical way to use a 100% agave tequila instead of a “mixto”, produced by the good folks at
Hacienda Vieja. That pathetic looking guy on the label doesn’t want to be identified, a testimony to
keeping production costs in check in order to provide you with a quality, economical priced mixer.
MEZCAL
There are two types of mezcal, those made of 100% maguey and those mixed with other ingredients, with at least 80% maguey. Both types
have four categories. White mezcal is clear and hardly aged. Dorado (golden) is not aged but a coloring agent is added. This is more often
done with a mixed mezcal. Reposado or añejado (aged) is placed in wood barrels from two to nine months. This can be done with 100%
agave or mixed mezcals. Añejo is aged in barrels for a minimum of twelve months. The best of this type are generally aged from eighteen
months to three years. If the añejo is of 100% agave, it is usually aged for about four yearS. Mexico has about 330,000 hectares cultivating
agave for mezcal, owned by 9,000 producers.[8] Over six million liters are produced in Mexico annually, with more than 150 brand names.
SCORPION MEZCAL 80˚, OAXACA
750ML ONLY; ANEJO, REPOSADO & SILVER ARE 6 PACKS. TOBALA SILVER, 5 YEAR ANEJO, & 7 YEAR RISERVA ARE 4 PACKS
The finest 100% blue Weber agave, cultivated from the shores of Lake Chapala, a region of Mexico known for the quality of its
maguey plants, rich in minerals with a unique and distinct character. Our natural fermentation results in a purer and longer
process without the use of any enhancers, chemicals or artificial coloring to expedite our fermentation. The agave comes from

BRUXO # 1 ARTISINAL MEZCAL JOVEN 92˚
750ML ONLY, 6 PACKS
Bruxo's No.1 is a joven (young) mescal made entirely from Espadin. Produced in Oaxaca, it is double distilled for a slightly smoky
style of mescal. Made with 100% Espadin agave, Bruxo No.1 is a traditional mezcal, a close relative to tequila (which must be made
from blue agave). If you didn't know, "Espadin" is the Spanish name for a ceremonial sword, just a little trivia for you to enjoy as
you're sipping this smoky, flavourful mezcal.
Note: Number 1 is the only type available currently (April 2015) All the other types have been filed with the NYSLA for May 1st.
