Description

It is one of Mexico’s leading independent distilleries: Destileria Orendain, also known as “La Mexicana”, was founded in Jalisco in 1926 and is still entirely family-owned. For almost 100 years, it has followed the same traditional, artisanal techniques in tequila production – a guarantee of quality and taste. It is no coincidence that the distillery’s flagship tequila, Ollitas, has been on the market for over 80 years. Around the globe.

The exceptionally soft character of the established premium brand begins with the harvest. The blue agaves of the Tequilana Weber variety are carefully selected at the optimum point of ripeness – some from our own fields.

They are cooked in brick ovens for 48 hours and slowly fermented with the company’s own yeast, which has been reproduced with devotion since the distillery was founded. This is followed by a triple distillation in copper and steel pot stills and the result is one of the smoothest tequilas from the Tequila Valley.

Unaged or barrel-aged: Ollitas has won multiple awards (for example gold at the prestigious Spirits Selection by Concours Mondial de Bruxelles competition in 2018 and 2019) and tastes great both on the rocks and in cocktails from classic to unusual. You can find examples via the link below.

The Tequila Blanco is made from 100% Blue Weber Agave. Its authentic profile is characterized by mineral and green aromas, followed by pronounced agave notes, pepper, and buttery and smoky tones.

After six months in bourbon barrels, the Tequila Reposado made from 100% Blue Weber Agave balances the typical aroma of the plant with notes of vanilla, wood and cream as well as the freshness of orange peel and pineapple.
