"Debbie's journey began when she reconnected with her father in Mexico after decades apart. What started as an emotional reunion turned into something life-changing. Her father Senor Rio shared the secret of his small-batch, family-recipe tequila-crafted for generations and shared only with those closest to him. Made with traditional methods-single estate harvesting, 8-12-year mature blue Weber agave, slow roasting in stone ovens, and double distillation-it was pure, smooth, and soulful."
"With her husband Jonathan, they brought the legacy recipe to life. Starting from their hometown of Gilbert, Arizona, the couple began self-distributing the tequila bottle by bottle. Partnering with a boutique distillery in Jalisco, they ensured each batch honored her father's methods. Señor Rio officially launched in 2009 with expressions including crisp Blanco, cognac oak-aged Reposado, and velvety Añejo. They later introduced limited releases like Double Barrel Añejo, Extra Añejo, and their signature coffee-infused Café Elegancia liqueur."
Señor Rio Tequila originated from a 30-year reunion that reconnected Debbie Medina-Gach with her father and his secret family tequila recipe. The tequila follows traditional, small-batch methods: single-estate harvesting, 8–12-year mature blue Weber agave, slow roasting in stone ovens, and double distillation. Debbie and her husband Jonathan partnered with a boutique distillery in Jalisco, self-distributed early bottles from Gilbert, Arizona, and launched Señor Rio in 2009 with Blanco, Reposado, and Añejo expressions. Limited releases and a coffee-infused liqueur expanded the range. After Jonathan's 2018 death, Debbie continued operating the brand to preserve the shared legacy.
