About Altos
Altos (Olmeca Altos) is a premium 100% blue agave tequila created in 2009 through a unique collaboration between Olmeca's Master Distiller Jesús Hernández and renowned UK bartenders Henry Besant and Dré Masso. Owned by Pernod Ricard, Altos has become one of the world's most awarded tequilas, respected by bartenders and enthusiasts alike. Made in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico, at the Destilería Colonial de Jalisco in Arandas (6,890 ft elevation), Altos uses a distinctive production method. The distillery operates both a modern roller mill and a traditional 500-year-old Tahona millstone, blending the two juices before distilling in small copper pot stills. This combination of tradition and innovation creates tequila with exceptional depth and smoothness. The Altos range includes Blanco (unaged), Reposado (rested in oak), and Añejo (aged) expressions. The Reposado is particularly celebrated, earning multiple medals at distinguished spirit competitions worldwide. The brand has also expanded into ready-to-serve cocktails, including the Altos Margarita Classic Lime – bringing bar-quality margaritas home with convenience. As the eighth highest-selling tequila brand globally, Altos represents the perfect balance of authenticity and accessibility. Whether enjoyed in a classic margarita, a Paloma, or sipped neat, Altos delivers the quality demanded by professionals and the smoothness appreciated by casual drinkers. Available at UK supermarkets including ASDA.
