Explore two distinct expressions of General Gorostieta tequila in one curated flight, offering a compelling side-by-side look at how agave spirit evolves from its purest unaged form to a lightly kissed joven blend.


Crafted at Distillery Viva Mexico under NOM 1414 in the celebrated Arandas region of Los Altos, Jalisco, both expressions are rooted in the rich, mineral-forward agave character that highland tequila is known for. Arandas sits at high elevation where blue agave plants grow slowly and develop concentrated sweetness, lending depth and personality to every bottle in this collection.


  • Nose: Bright agave forward aromas with fresh citrus and subtle floral notes across both expressions
  • Palate: Clean and vibrant on the blanco, with the joven adding soft warmth and gentle sweetness to the highland agave core
  • Finish: Crisp and approachable on the blanco, rounding out with a slightly smoother, lingering close on the joven

The General Gorostieta Blanco shines in a classic Margarita or Paloma, while the Joven brings an added layer of complexity to a Tequila Sour or sipped neat as an introduction to aged tequila styles.


Best enjoyed neat or on the rocks to compare both expressions side by side. This General Gorostieta tequila flight features 100% blue agave spirit from the Arandas highlands of Jalisco, making it an ideal introduction or collectible addition for any tequila enthusiast.

General Gorostieta is named for General Enrique Gorostieta and the courage his story stands for. The Blanco, Reposado and High Proof are now made at El Pandillo in Jesús María, Jalisco, with Felipe Camarena, while the Joven comes from Feliciano Vivanco in Arandas. Highland agave grows about seven years, then steams 24 hours in brick ovens and rests 24 more. At El Pandillo a mechanical tahona crushes it with spring water, and natural yeast ferments the juice for 96 hours before two runs through copper stills. Every bottle is filled and labeled by hand.

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.
