TEQUILA
From the heart of Nayarit — where Wixárika heritage meets modern distillation.
Chapter 01
Real de Ixtlán is born in Ixtlán del Río, Nayarit — one of the very few tequila-producing regions outside Jalisco. Here, at the DEHAT distillery (NOM 1628), Blue Weber agave is cultivated in volcanic soil enriched by centuries of geological activity, producing piñas with distinctive mineral character.
Each expression carries the name of a sacred Wixárika (Huichol) symbol — the Hummingbird, the Blue Deer, and the Spiritual Eye — connecting the spirit to the indigenous cosmology of its homeland. Founded in 2021, Real de Ixtlán bridges ancestral reverence with contemporary craft.
Every symbol on our bottles tells a story that predates tequila itself — the Wixárika understood the agave long before distillation arrived.

Chapter 03
Blue Weber agave piñas are slow-cooked in stainless steel autoclaves, converting complex starches into fermentable sugars while preserving the delicate aromatics unique to Nayarit terroir.
Cooked agave is processed through roller mills to extract the sweet aguamiel. This mechanical method maximizes sugar yield while maintaining the clean, pure flavor profile characteristic of the brand.
Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, allowing precise management of yeast activity and the development of consistent, refined flavors across every batch.
The fermented must undergoes double distillation in stainless steel pot stills. Each pass refines the spirit, removing impurities and concentrating the agave essence into a smooth, characterful tequila.
