El Negocio Tequila is a pure, 100% additive-free sipping tequila that made waves before its official debut. The first preview bottle of El Negocio Tequila sold for $10,000 at its debut auction and now, the premiere vintage of El Negocio has officially arrived in the United States.
Founded by Napa Valley vintner Adam Craun and entrepreneur Nicholas Lutz, El Negocio Tequila explores a unique intersection, specifically "the unbridled edge of tequila with a nuanced restraint and deference to terroir more commonly associated with collector-worthy wine."
Unlike most tequilas that are made with sweet Jalisco highlands agave, this one makes the most of Blue Weber Agave from the mineral-rich Jalisco lowlands for more savory notes and highly concentrated flavor.
