EL TEQUILEÑO PLATINUM

Founded in 1959 by Don Jorge Salles Cuervo, El Tequileño is a tribute to the people of Tequila and their timeless spirit. Crafted only with blue agave from the Highlands of Jalisco and pure volcanic spring water, every drop reflects over six decades of dedication. Still produced in its original distillery, La Guarreña, and guided today by Don Jorge’s grandson, Tony Salles, El Tequileño has become one of Mexico’s most beloved tequilas—combining tradition, innovation, and authenticity in every bottle.
