about CARABUENA
Grown in Jalisco, Mexico. Founded in Austin, Texas.
Our Story
A Jalisco native and bartender from the age of 15, Victor Diaz combined his heritage and passion to create Carabuena.
His deep-rooted connections in the heart of Mexico serve as the foundation upon which he has built the artisanal tequila brand.
Carabuena Tequila is inspired by the mythical nahuals, which symbolize the spirit that drives us to unlock our true potential and express our most authentic selves. Carabuena Tequila is made by creators for creators, and for those who desire to live their best side.
The Carabuena Taste
In a crowded tequila space, Carabuena differentiates itself through a distinctive taste.
The blanco spirit is delicate and nuanced with a clean, crisp flavor profile that is both complex and refined.
Whether you take it neat or on the rocks, or mixed in a cocktail, there’s an undeniable smokiness that is perfectly balanced with a light sweetness.
How We Turn Agave Into Your Best Sipping Experience
After reaching maturity, the 100% blue agave plant’s leaves are stripped away to reveal the heart of the plant, known as the piña. The piña is then slow-cooked in custom clay ovens, known as “hornos de mamposteria.”
Steamed for 22 hours and rested for 72, the flavorful juice is transferred into traditional copper alembic stills for distillation.
Through a slow distillation process, we are able to preserve the natural aromas and flavors that come from the fermentation and give Carabuena its unequaled flavor profile.
And finally, the liquid is filtered to produce a crystal clear tequila that finishes clean.
