Born from a passion for traditional agave spirits and for sustainability as well as a goal to make a viable and high quality affordable Tequila, El Sueño Tequila is produced by the team behind VIVIR Tequila in partnership with fifth generation, family-owned Casa Maestri Distillery in Jalisco. For El Sueño, in keeping with the spirit of VIVIR Tequila, the distillery is also relying on more traditional methods to yield a more elegant mixto tequila. In combination with locally sourced Piloncillo, Blue Weber Agave plants which are grown in the highlands of Jalisco are used to make El Sueño. The agave plants are harvested at full maturity after 9 years, which maintains crop levels which in turn help support the local wildlife and ecosystems. Only natural volcanic spring water that rises from a well on the property of the distillery is used.
The team at VIVIR Tequila and El Sueño prioritizes what they call proactive sustainability. Apart from just producing delicious tequila, their goal is to help secure a future for the cultivation of agave and the making of traditional agave sprits. Operating on a zero waste policy, all spent materials from the production are composted, donated to local farmers and used to cultivate new agave plants. A percentage of the estate grown agave crop is spared from harvest and allowed to flower so that the seeds can be collected for new plantings. Their vision for sustainability is holistic, therefore they work with local Jimadors full-time to ensure fair wages and to reinforce their responsibility to the local communities.
Paul and Nav, the founders prize nothing more than being able to share with everyone what great, sustainably made tequila can be.
