El Tesoro de Don Felipe tequila honors Don Felipe Camarena, the man who established La Alteña Distillery in 1937, where El Tesoro continues to be distilled today. El Tesoro tequila is “the treasure” of Jalisco, created in celebration of Don Felipe’s most precious asset: his agaves. Today El Tesoro is still made honoring the same traditional methods that have been passed down through generations. El Tesoro Reposado is aged in American oak ex-bourbon barrels for nine to eleven months. This careful process creates a sweet, complex and agave-forward flavor.
