Description
Mijenta Tequila, founded in 2020, is dedicated to producing artisanal Tequilas using traditional methods. The Cristalino Reposado is a unique expression that combines the complexity of aged Tequila with the clarity of a Blanco. It is charcoal-filtered to remove the colour while retaining the toast and vanilla flavours of the aged Tequila. Sustainability is at the core of Mijenta's production, with the producer certified as a B-Corp.

Mexico
Mexico boasts a rich tradition of spirit-making, centring on tequila and mezcal. Tequila, derived from blue agave, undergoes a regulated process in regions like Jalisco, yielding varieties such as blanco and añejo. Mezcal, made from various agave species, mainly thrives in Oaxaca and is known for its unique smoky flavour. Both spirits hold cultural significance, and the rise of premium and craft varieties has spurred the growth of small-batch distilleries.
