Target

Tequila Partida is recognized as one of the world’s highest-rated ultra-premium tequila brands. The company produces 100% blue agave tequilas handcrafted in the heart of the Tequila Valley, Mexico. Its product portfolio is divided into two primary ranges: the "La Familia" range (Blanco, Reposado, Añejo, and Extra Añejo) and the "Roble Fino" range, often referred to as the 'single malt of tequila' due to its unique finishing in ex-sherry oak casks. The production process is overseen by a dedicated local team of experts and follows traditional methods, including hand-harvesting agave aged for over five years and double-distillation in small pot stills. Historically distributed by Edrington USA, the brand has built a strong reputation in the "on-trade" sector (bars and restaurants) particularly in the United States and Mexico, positioning itself as a leader in the ultra-premium spirits segment.
