--------THE PRODUCER--------

Arette

Tequila ARETTE de Jalisco was founded in the 1900s by the Orendain family and has been run by Eduardo and Jaime Orendain since 1976. The name of the brand comes from ARETE which was the name of the horse that won 1 bronze and 2 Gold Olympic medals in Show Jumping. The brand was introduced in 1986 to commemorate this event, which so far are the only Gold medals for Mexico in this sport.

The masters distillers Eduardo and Jaime Orendain, grandsons of Don Eduardo, represent the fifth generation producing tequila. Eduardo is also a former Mayor of the town of Tequila and is the current president of the National Chamber for the Tequila Industry (CNIT). Arette's El Llano distillery operates in the original building where the Orendain family history of Tequila production began in the early 1900s. El Llano was rebuilt in 1978 and today's Arette Tequila was created in 1986. It is located in the Tequila city centre and is a focal point of its history.

Arette Tequila is only made from 100% Estate Agave. The Orendain brothers have always prioritised quality over quantity—they follow their grandfather’s footsteps by preserving the original artisanal practices and continue the family legacy of the highest quality Tequila.
