Arrogante
Arrogante is ultra premium tequila like no other. Produced by artisanal methods in Jalisco's Highlands at the family-run distillery, Arrogante is a true celebration of blue agave spirit. Designed for sipping, it also will elevate any cocktail. Deliciously smooth, it boasts unique depth and richness of flavors and taste that distinguish Arrogante from other tequilas. We re so proud of the quality of our tequila, we called it Arrogante!
Arrogante Blanco
Arrogante Blanco has big, ripe, fresh agave on the nose with a slight undercurrent of white pepper. The entry is soft with a nice mouthfeel and strong fresh agave flavor. It quickly opens up with a wide range of spice flavors including pepper, allspice, and even some woodsy cinnamon notes. Arrogante picks up just a slight amount of heat at the end of the mid palate and has a long, slightly salty finish. It is super clean and a wonderful base for any cocktail.
Arrogante Reposado
Arrogante Reposado is rated 92 - "outstanding" score- by Meredith May, the Publisher of The Tasting Panel Magazine. Tasting notes: "A botanical fir-tree and green-tea nose leads to clove, ginger and peppered mandarin orange on the palate. The lingering finish seals the deal on this unique and edgy newcomer".
Arrogante Anejo
Arrogante Anejo is rated 93 by Anthony Dias Blue, the Editor-In-Chief of The Tasting Panel Magazine and the Founder of the famous San Francisco World Spirits Competition, who placed Arrogante Anejo in the outstanding category. "Amber color; smooth agave and caramel nose with floral notes; creamy vanilla and ripe, mellow, toasted agave flavors with spice and smooth, lush texture; long and rich."

The Art of Arrogante Tequila
Our Blue Agaves
Blue agaves, used in production of Arrogante tequila, are grown in the Highlands of Jalisco, known as "Los Altos". Aficionados of the drink believe that Los Altos is the best region for the making of the tequila. Due to the higher altitudes above the sea level, these agave plants take more time to mature than plants grown in the plains, and since it takes more time, the plants consolidate more agave flavors into themselves and then impart these flavors into the final tequila. In addition, agave plants, that are grown in the Highlands, often have more sweet fruit flavor, and boast more vegan notes. Agave plants take about 7 to 9 years to be ready for use.
Planting, tending and harvesting the agave plants remain a manual effort, unchanged by modern technologies, and stretching back hundreds of years. The men who harvest it, the "jimadores", possess generations of knowledge about the plants. The jimadores cut the stems off the plants with the "coa" (knife similar to a machete, but with the rounded point), and harvest the "heart" of the agave, which looks like a pineapple (that is why we call it "piña", which means pineapple). An agave "piña" can weight up to 80 kilos (normally, it weights around 45-60 kilos). These hearts of the agave are used to produce tequila. The agave hearts are shredded, their juices pressed out and put into fermentation tanks and vats. We use only traditional methods to process our agaves to preserve the purity of the drink and extract the most agave flavors.Arrogante Anejo Tasting Notes.

Production and Aging
We slow-bake our blue agaves according to the traditional method, in stone ovens called “hornos”. This method ensures that the sugars are properly cooked and not caramelized. We use the juice from the first pressing of the baked agaves only, and then slowly ferment the "mosto", a process that requires approximately 72-96 hours. In an effort to reduce costs and speed up production, many other producers use stainless steel autoclaves to pressure cook the agaves and jump-start fermentation with chemically treated commercial yeast. No such short cuts are practiced in the production of our tequila.
The fermented product is double distilled to produce clear tequila called Blanco. While Blanco does not require aging, Arrogante Reposado and Anejo must mature in casks before consumption. As with other spirits, that are aged in casks, tequila takes on the flavors of the wood, while the harshness of the alcohol mellows. We age our tequila in white oak barrels, previously used for bourbon production. Reposado takes 3 to 6 months to mature and Anejo -13 to 18 months.The closer a distillery follows traditional artisanal methods of tequila production, the better is the final result - taste and flavor of the beverage. The distillers, or “cooks” carefully preserve the secrets of production, which are passed from generation to generation. The careful adherence to the artisanal method of production and strict quality control on each step of the way are the secrets behind the luscious smoothness and richness of flavors which characterize Arrogante tequila.
