A carefully crafted premium Reposado.

Co-founded by Eva Longoria who wanted to celebrate her Mexican heritage and uplift the women in her communities, Casa Del Sol is a luxury Tequila brand from the Mexican region Altos de Jalisco that was inspired by the Aztec goddess of agave, Mayahuel. The story goes that this chick created agave with long green spires that could protect her and her lover, the God of Wind, from her spiteful grandmother. Apparently, the granny was still quite upset and burnt the agave with a bolt of lightning. Lucky for Mayafuel, a piña filled with the sweet nectar of agave was left. That made her the Goddess of Tequila, so it really turned fine in the end.

Having grown up around the greatest Maestro Tequileros, Mariana Padila is now Casa del Sol’s Artesana Tequilera. For overseeing every step of the production process, they’ve got Alejandra Pelayo, the goddaughter of the late Francisco Alcaraz, master distille,r and creator of one of the most successful tequilas in the world.

What about the Tequila? It’s different. For example, while other Tequila brands mostly source Whiskey barrels from the U.S., these guys get handcrafted Cognac barrels from the famous Martell family in France for a softer yet more enhanced flavor profile. It’s New World Mexican artistry meeting Old World French craftsmanship.

Made from the finest 7YO Blue Weber agave, Casa Del Sol Tequila Reposado gets to rest for at least 4 months in those select French oak and Cognac barrels that were handcrafted with French Limousin oak. It’s why the result is so beautifully subtle with soft woody aromas mingling with vanilla and leading to raisin and sweet tobacco notes on the nose. The palate is very well-balanced with wild honey, raisin, and butterscotch. A true homage to the Mexican tradition.
