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. After maturing in barrel, the Cristalino is filtered through charcoal to smooth the texture and strip the color imparted by the barrel. The result is a crystal-clear spirit with all the aroma and flavor of a reposado without some of the edginess.
