About DeLeón Tequila:

At the forefront of luxury since it was first introduced to the world in 2009, DeLeón Tequila was always ahead of its time with its elevated standard of aging and its bold, sleek design.

Only our finest, fully matured, 100% blue weber agave goes into our Tequila, and an ambitious, longer fermentation process allows the agave nectar to fully capture all the flavor of the Jalisco region.

And an unconventional aging process: While most tequila brands age their tequila in American Oak casks, DeLeón takes it a step further. For our Reposado and Añejo variants, we combine the bold American Oak with fine, French Oak wine casks to achieve the smoothness, balanced character, and nuanced complexity of DeLeon tequila.

This is Tequila redefined—more than just a spirit, DeLeón Tequila offers an unparalleled tasting experience that transcends boundaries. Imbued with a refined liquid elegance perfected through a blend of traditional and innovative processes, every sip of DeLeón Tequila invites you to taste the difference. Whether enjoyed neat or as the centerpiece of a meticulously crafted cocktail, DeLeón Tequila embodies the essence of luxury and sophistication.
