After 75 years of distilling in Arandas and sales across Mexico, the venerable Tapatio Tequila has arrived in the US. Distiller Carlos Camarena has developed cult like status with Tequila lovers with the quality and integrity of his hard to obtain Tapatio brand. It stands alone with its pure classic flavor profile of 100% Blue Agave Tequila from the highlands. Why is it so loved? Tapatio sets the bar for the old authentic flavor that is disappearing in modern Tequilas. Respected author, Robert Plotkin, of Bar Media and a respected Tequila writer, wrote: “Wow, Tapatio...I'm already salivating”.
The Camarena Family distills 100% estate grown blue agaves. Many know the family distillery through El Tesoro and other custom Tequilas. Charbay’s father and son team distilled their Tequila there. That’s the friendship that brought Tapatio to America.
True Tequila aficionados and star bartenders make the trek to Camarena’s La Altena Distillery in Arandas as a rite of passage into the old Tequila world. Enlightened by Tapatio’s intriguing flavor profile, many tried to find a way to get it in the US. It took the friendship & trust of two distilling families to make it happen.
Charbay Distillers is the exclusive USA Importer of the Tapatio brand.
Dori Bryant, founder of ‘Spirits of Mexico’ events across the country, could only sing the praises of Tapatio. She wrote: “Tapatio is one of the most stellar brands out there. When asked about Tapatio... each time [someone] asked my opinion I'd say: GET IT - GET IT - GET IT!!!!!!!!!!”
The first states carrying Tequila Tapatio include California(MK Spirits), New York(Martin Scott), New Jersey(Martin Scott), Nevada(SWS), Missouri(Vintegrity), New Jersey(Martin Scott), Florida(Vinquiry), Florida(Vincraft), Texas(Virtuoso), Maryland(Bacchus).
