What Sets Altos Apart?
- High Quality, Low Impact on the Environment - From the beginning, Altos have created a tequila with low impact on the environment, while maintaining high quality standards and following centennial tequila traditions like the use of the Tahona Stone and copper distillation.
- 100% Agave, 100% from Lost Altos - Altos grows their agave at 2,100 meter above sea level on the volcanic rich soil of Los Altos, the high- lands of Jalisco. Each agave grows from 7 to 8 years to reach maturity and achieve the sweet spot for tequila making.
- Slow Cooking in Brick Ovens Only - To preserve the richness and smoothness of roasted agave flavour Altos cook their agave in brick ovens for three days until they are juicy and tender for the milling.
- Old School Milling, Favour Forward Tequila - They use both the roller mill and the 400-year-old method of the Tahona Stone to achieve a blend of unique tequila punchiness and natural smoothness to complete the Altos Tequila recipe. Afterwards, the agave fibres and liquid are fermented with their proprietary yeast.
