Distillery Information

Rancho El Carrizal was nicknamed “La Langacha” (the strip) by Don Felipe Camarena because the parcel is long and thin. He joked that it could be jumped over. It is 2 miles west of the town of Arandas in the “Golden Triangle” or “Grand Cru” of agave growing. It is a 4.5 acre ranch surrounded by pines and elms. At 1,978 meters altitude it has the typical red-oxide soil characteristic of the “Highlands of Jalisco”
