Part art object, part exceptional spirit, the Curado Badger Blanco arrives in a hand-painted bottle depicting the badger alebrije, a symbol of diligence and family devotion that mirrors the care poured into every batch. Master Distiller Carlos Camarena crafts this expression to bring the soul of the distillery directly to your glass.


Produced at NOM 1474 in the highlands of Arandas, Jalisco, this blanco tequila is built from 100% blue weber agave, slow-cooked to draw out a rich, unmistakably vegetal sweetness. The result is a profile that feels both rooted in tradition and genuinely alive, making it one of the most expressive introductions to cooked agave available today.


  • Nose: Cooked agave, warm citrus, cinnamon, and caramel
  • Palate: Abundant cooked agave character, butterscotch, with gentle touches of fruit and flowers
  • Finish: Rich, fruity, and satisfyingly long

The Curado Badger Blanco shines in a Paloma, where its citrus brightness and agave depth play beautifully against grapefruit soda, and holds its own equally well in a classic Tommy's Margarita that lets the sweet, cooked agave character take center stage.


Serve neat or over a single large ice cube to appreciate the full range of aromas. Crafted from 100% blue weber agave grown in Arandas, Jalisco.

Curado was created by the late Tomás Estes, Europe's official Tequila Ambassador, and master distiller Carlos Camarena, the friends behind Tequila Ocho. Carlos makes the base blanco at Los Alambiques, the Camarena family distillery in Arandas, from Highlands agave cooked in brick ovens and double distilled in copper pot stills. Each agave for the infusion is cooked in its home region using local methods, then brought to Jalisco. About 21 kilograms of it steep in every 1,000 liters of tequila for five days before filtering and bottling at 40% ABV. Curado was the first tequila infused with cooked agave, and the method is patented in the US.

LOCATION

Arandas, Jalisco

Map of Jalisco, Mexico, with Arandas marked

Arandas sits at about 2,000 meters in Los Altos de Jalisco, the highland plateau east of Guadalajara. Its red, clay-rich soils and mild, temperate climate let blue agave grow slowly and build up sugar, the source of the sweet, fruity and floral style the Highlands are known for. Agave fields cover much of the municipality, and Arandas is one of the busiest tequila-making towns in Mexico. The town is also known for its giant church bell, often called the largest in Latin America.
