30 Years Tequila Regulatory Council, 50 Years of the Denomination of Origin Tequila

Tequila, with its Denomination of Origin, reflects the essence of Mexico in every sip. The blue agave, carefully cultivated in its lands of origin, is transformed into a drink of unmatched character and flavor, truly unique and traditional, made with ancestral techniques and a deep respect for the land.

Below we share some topics of interest in relation to Tequila that will help you learn more about its production, the distinctive that guarantees its quality, its categories, classes, as well as the presence that our drink has around the world.

Appellation of origin

We understand Denomination of Origin to be the name of a geographical region of the country that serves to designate a product originating from it, and whose quality or characteristics are due exclusively to the geographical environment.

The Denomination of Origin of Tequila (DOT) is a badge that guarantees the quality and authenticity of this emblematic Mexican drink. This recognition represents a history, a legacy produced under certain standards in a differentiated and delimited region, thus reflecting the unique characteristics of Tequila, its people and its roots in our land.
