Tres Agaves has opened its first distillery in Jalisco’s Tequila Valley of Amatitán, Mexico.

The new Tequilera TAP facility will produce the brand’s Blanco, Reposado and Añejo expressions, which will be certified organic. The tequila will be produced using 100% agave.

With an annual production capacity of more than 600,000l, the new distillery is equipped with copper coiled alembic distillation stills, shallow stainless-steel fermentation tanks, a twenty-ton capacity autoclave and a four-stage roller mill.

Tequilera TAP features a brick oven (known as a horno) and shallow pine fermenting tanks to produce tequila using the traditional tahona method.
