Our initial goal; as a point of pride in our company; was to be the best agave producers in the world, with the intention of selling our premium agave to premium tequila producers.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2005, our lives took a pivot, amidst a flooded agave market…One night, during a family dinner, we discussed our options and decided to instead release our own tequila label rather than suffer the loss at hand. The metamorphosis of our familial land in the highlands of Michoacán Mexico became an intergenerational project amongst us.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eOur family delved into graphic design and bottle options, as we spearheaded the multitude of next steps, and moved our lives in an exciting new direction, together!\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eDelays with importation rigmarole spanned two years, as did increasing personal investment during the heaviest years of America’s most recent economic decline. Some of us took bartending classes, we also studied import laws and taxes, we danced and we held in our hearts, hope about the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAt long last in the summer of 2011 ~ Mi Casa Tequila docks in the San Francisco Bay Area! It quickly moves into cocktail culture throughout the state and into parts of the East Coast.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eNow, after 13 years on the market, we have a unique and exciting portfolio of single barrel limited editions plus other tequila programs on the horizon.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWe work hard to guarantee the highest quality tequila and we believe the tequila speaks for itself in this regard.

The industry standard is anywhere from 26%-28%.  The natural sugars and nutrient rich highland soil translate into aromatic, complex, rich and smooth small batch tequilas.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAt the distillery in Aranda’s Mexico we practice open air oxygenation of the spirit before it is bottled to reduce the smell and taste of ethanol. Additionally new filters are used on the machines each time we distill, to ensure a high level of quality control. The barrels we use to age our spirit were previously used for Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey. They are lightly chipped and charred beforehand, and a slight smokey flavor is present in the añejo and extra añejo expressions.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eOur family is present to taste each expression of the tequila before it is approved for bottling. It is shipped and arrives to the port of Oakland. We have a bonded warehouse in San Carlos and sell direct to licensed restaurants and retailers in California and on the west coast, as permitted by law.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA few more quick details about us!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul data-rte-list=\"default\"\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWe produce highland tequila @ 6500ft. elevation\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMi Casa Tequila exclusively family owned and operated at all levels of operation.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMultiple local and international awards including a double gold in the San Francisco World Spirits Competition!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSingle estate - we only use what we grow for ourselves.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBlanco is rested 6 months in stainless steel, our Reposado is aged 10 months in American White Oak \u0026amp; our Añejo is aged 30 months in American White Oak.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSustainable - We have a rotating plantation, with up to 8 years of rest for the soil after a harvest.
