Bold, unapologetic, and built for those who want more, Arette Fuerte Artesanal Blanco Tequila delivers a high-proof punch that refuses to sacrifice character for strength. Crafted at the historic Tequila Arette distillery in the heart of Jalisco, this additive-free blanco is a masterclass in raw agave expression at 101 proof.


Produced under NOM 1109 in the storied Tequila region of Jalisco, Arette Fuerte is made using traditional artesanal methods that honor the full intensity of the blue Weber agave. The elevated proof is not a gimmick but a deliberate choice, allowing the spirit's natural complexity to carry through with remarkable clarity and force.


  • Nose: Vibrant cooked agave, fresh citrus zest, white pepper, and a whisper of floral sweetness
  • Palate: Bold and layered with roasted agave, green herbs, cracked black pepper, and a bright mineral backbone
  • Finish: Long and warming with lingering spice, earthy agave, and a clean, dry close

The extra proof makes Arette Fuerte a standout in cocktails that call for a tequila with presence. It holds its own beautifully in a Spicy Margarita or a Tequila Old Fashioned, where its bold character anchors every sip.


Best enjoyed neat or over a single large ice cube to let the full profile open up. Arette Fuerte Artesanal Blanco is crafted from 100% blue Weber agave, distilled in the Tequila region of Jalisco, Mexico.

NOM: 1109
Brothers Eduardo and Jaime Orendain launched Arette in 1986 at El Llano, a distillery in the town of Tequila that dates to 1900 and is still run by their family. They named it for Arete, the horse that won Olympic show jumping gold for Mexico in 1948. For the Artesanal line, agave is cooked for 48 hours in brick ovens, fermented with wild yeast in open-air concrete tanks, and distilled twice in copper-coil pot stills. The Clásico line cooks agave in autoclaves for 15 hours. El Llano is one of the oldest working distilleries in the region.
LOCATION

Tequila, Jalisco

Tequila is the town that gave the spirit its name, set at about 1,180 meters in the valley below the Tequila volcano, some 60 km northwest of Guadalajara. Blue agave covers the volcanic soils between the volcano and the canyon of the Río Grande de Santiago, a landscape UNESCO named a World Heritage Site in 2006. Large-scale agave distilling began here around 1600, and several of the oldest working distilleries in Mexico still operate in town. Tequila was named a Pueblo Mágico in 2003.
