Its portfolio also includes a tequila-based ready-to-drink Paloma, an aperitivo, and ultra-premium sotol from Chihuahua, Mexico. Through the Komos Foundation, the company supports sustainability work in the Tequila region, including efforts to turn agave waste into building materials.

Lobos 1707Founded by artist Diego Osorio, Lobos 1707 makes tequila and mezcal that pair Mexican agave spirits with southern Spain’s sherry tradition. Every expression is finished in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, reviving a family story that traces back to an ancestor who carried PX barrels from Spain to Mexico around 1707. The Miami-imported brand’s lineup includes award-winning bottles such as its Reposado and Extra Añejo.
La Caza Spirits LLCBorn in Austin from founder Drake Screws’s decade-long search for the perfect pour, La Caza Spirits makes additive-free tequila crafted with the Vivanco family in Jalisco. Its Blanco, Reposado, and Añejo begin with Blue Weber Agave handpicked in the Jalisco Highlands by fifth-generation farmers, then are cooked and fermented for more than 90 hours before being poured into hand-blown glass bottles.
TROPA TequilaTROPA Tequila began with three close friends in Melbourne, who turned a late-night idea into a spirits company rooted in Mexican origins. The brand brings together traditional tequila-making and an art-led sensibility, with hand-finished bottles that make each release feel personal rather than mass-produced.New York, NY
