Distiller’s Background:

Exotico is crafted at Destiladora González González (NOM 1603), located in the Los Altos region of Jalisco, a highland area prized for producing agave with rich sugar content and vibrant character. Backed by generations of tequila-making tradition, the González family and their team oversee a process that balances scale with authenticity. Exotico was developed to offer high-quality 100% agave tequila with approachability in both taste and price, expanding the reach of well-made tequila to a broader audience.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve slightly chilled (around 45–50 °F) in a tumbler or rocks glass for sipping neat or with a single cube to enhance its vanilla and spice notes. Exotico Reposado adds complexity and richness to tequila-based cocktails like a classic Margarita, Paloma, or Tequila Mule. It also pairs well with grilled pork, smoky barbecue, chili-lime shrimp, or corn-forward dishes that complement its sweet oak character and peppery backbone.
