TEQUILA & MEZCAL
Since 1930 — one of Mexico's oldest agave spirit brands, producing both tequila and mezcal.
Legacy
Siete Machos is not a newcomer to the agave spirits world — it is one of its oldest living institutions. Registered as a brand since 1930, it was recognized as a 'Famous Brand' by Mexico's Instituto Mexicano de la Propiedad Industrial (IMPI) in 2016. A brand born from nearly a century of distilling flower spirits — now channeling that same alchemy into agave. Three generations of tequila producers in Jalisco and six generations of mezcaleros in Oaxaca carry this legacy forward.
What makes Siete Machos unique is its duality: the brand produces both tequila in San Juanito de Escobedo, Jalisco, and mezcal in Santiago Matatlan, Oaxaca. Two spirits, two regions, one philosophy — artisanal and rooted in the land.

Generations — tequila & mezcal
“Nearly 100 years of alchemy distilling flowers. Now the same alchemy with agave — which also blooms when the quiote rises. Same alchemy, different flowers.”

Terroir
Jalisco
San Juanito de Escobedo
The heart of tequila country. The volcanic soils surrounding San Juanito de Escobedo in the Valles region of Jalisco provide the mineral-rich terroir that nurtures the Blue Weber agave to full maturity over 7–8 years. The altitude and climate produce agave with high sugar concentration, lending the tequila its signature floral complexity.

Santiago Matatlán
Known as the world capital of mezcal. The semi-arid valleys of Santiago Matatlán have been producing mezcal for centuries. Here, Espadin agave grows in the dry, rocky terrain under intense sun, developing the deep, smoky character that defines artisanal Oaxacan mezcal. The family fields have been tended by the same lineage for six generations.

The Spirit
Produced at Destiladora de Agave Azul (NOM 1424). Blue Weber agave fertilized with vermicompost — no chemicals, no shortcuts. Autoclave cooking, roller mill extraction, stainless steel fermentation, and double distillation in stainless steel pot stills. The result: a blanco tequila of extraordinary floral complexity.

The Spirit
Espadin agave, naturally cultivated across six generations of family fields. Earth oven cooking imparts the traditional smoky character, followed by double distillation in copper alembic stills. Unaged, unfiltered — a mezcal of honest character and great body. The same floral alchemy, rooted in a different land.
Philosophy
Siete Machos works with the soil, not against it. Agave is fertilized exclusively with vermicompost. No pesticides, no herbicides, no chemical additives. Production residues from agave processing are returned to the fields. Water comes from private wells, demineralized and purified through reverse osmosis.
This is not a marketing claim; it is a production discipline maintained across three generations of tequila producers in Jalisco and six generations of mezcaleros in Oaxaca. The vermicompost program — using worm-based composting to create natural fertilizer — closes the production loop: agave waste returns to the soil that grows the next generation of plants.
Zero Synthetic Inputs
No pesticides, herbicides, or chemical fertilizers at any stage of cultivation.
Closed-Loop Composting
Vermicompost (lombricomposta) created from agave waste feeds the next generation of plants.
Hand-Harvested
Every agave is harvested by hand at peak maturity by jimadores with generational expertise.
Family Stewardship
Three generations in Jalisco and six in Oaxaca maintain the tradition.
“What the earth gives freely, we return to it. The cycle is the craft.”

Behind the Scenes
A dual-origin house: the tequila is distilled in San Juanito de Escobedo in the lowlands of Jalisco, while the mezcal is crafted in Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca — the world capital of mezcal.
