El Mayor Reposado Tequila

El Mayor Reposado Tequila is an elegant expression of Jalisco heritage, crafted by the González family with over 150 years of distilling mastery. Made exclusively from 100% Blue Weber agave grown in the mineral-rich highlands, it rests for nine months in small, charred American white oak barrels. The result is a golden reposado of remarkable smoothness, where agave sweetness is layered with subtle oak, vanilla and spice. With its family legacy, artisanal production and award-winning finesse, El Mayor Reposado is tequila elevated for refined sipping, memorable gifting, and moments of celebration.

Cocktail Pairings

Enjoy a refreshing Paloma – grapefruit soda, fresh lime and a salted rim, glowing pink in the sun. Add intrigue with a Spicy Margarita, muddled with chili and coriander for a lively kick. For a twist on tradition, the Tequila Negroni blends oak-kissed agave with Campari and sweet vermouth, perfect for late-evening elegance. A Tequila Old Fashioned highlights caramel and spice over a single cube, while the Jalisco Manhattan brings warming depth with vermouth and bitters. For playful sophistication, try a Tequila Jungle Bird, where pineapple, Campari and reposado meet in tropical harmony.

Craftsmanship & Story

El Mayor is produced by the González family at Destiladora González Lux, just outside Arandas, where volcanic soils yield agaves of exceptional quality. Overseen by Master Distiller Rodolfo González and his fourth-generation children, each tequila is nurtured from field to bottle. Mature Blue Weber agaves are hand-harvested, slow-cooked, fermented and distilled under the family’s watchful eye, before being aged in small oak barrels. With a proud lineage and modern innovation, El Mayor unites heritage, craftsmanship and passion in every drop.
