Female-founded Madam Paleta makes small-batch, flavor-infused tequila from 100% blue agave grown in Los Altos de Jalisco, Mexico. Its four-woman core team brings more than 30 years of combined experience in the spirits business, while the tequila is traditionally cooked, double-distilled, and infused with natural flavors for 72 hours. The bottles are filled on a small assembly line and hand-labeled by a team of women—and they even glow in the dark after exposure to sunlight or UV light.
