"Even though Arette is relatively new to the tequila scene, only making its debut in 1986, master distillers Eduardo and Jaime Orendain come from a long line of tequila makers - five generations to be exact. In keeping with the family business and eager to get back to their roots, the brothers chose to distill their spirit at the historic El Llano distillery, founded in 1900."
"It's during these moments that we reach for something different that deserves to be shown off and not hidden by extra ingredients. It probably doesn't even need that rim of salt to which we've become accustomed. Something smooth enough to sip straight, like an old bottle of scotch or your favorite Cognac."
While many tequila drinkers rely on well-known brands for margaritas, premium tequilas deserve appreciation as standalone spirits worthy of sipping neat. Spirit industry experts recommend 15 brands that showcase tequila's quality and complexity. These selections range from aged varieties stored in bourbon or wine barrels to unaged blancos made with minimal ingredients to highlight agave characteristics. The recommended brands span various price points, making premium tequila accessible to both newcomers and experienced enthusiasts. Arette Clásico Blanco exemplifies this category, produced by brothers Eduardo and Jaime Orendain at the historic El Llano distillery founded in 1900, earning praise from professional bartenders as an excellent sipping tequila.
