Compañia Tequila Los Valores is a relatively new operation that began production in 2019. The distillery is run by Ricardo Aguilar and his family in Ixtlahuacán De Los Membrillos, a small town located between Guadalajara and the lake town of Chapala in Jalisco. Instead of belonging to the highlands or lowlands, Los Valores is located between the two regions and as such, has its own unique terroir to the tequila. Their añejo is naturally fermented without agave fibers, seeing maturation in ex-bourbon barrels for 12 months. The result is a graceful spirit that retains its beautiful agave flavor and marries it with the rich depth of oak aging. Flavors of toasted almond, vanilla, peppery agave, and caramel greet the palate before inviting a long, dry finish.
