A bold tribute to Mexican heritage, General Gorostieta Joven Tequila blends Blanco and Reposado expressions into a spirit that captures the best of highland Tequila in a single pour. Confirmed Additive Free by Tequila Matchmaker, this Arandas-born Joven is as honest as it is distinctive.


Produced at Distillery Viva Mexico under NOM 1414 in the highland region of Arandas, Jalisco, General Gorostieta Joven draws on the mineral-rich terroir and cooler elevations that define the best of highland agave cultivation. The iconic metallic cork bears the imperial eagle of the Escudo Nacional Mexicano, a symbol active on the eve of the Mexican Revolution and a nod to the storied legacy of General Enrique Gorostieta.


  • Nose: Warm apples, tropical fruits, vanilla, and fresh agave open with an inviting highland character.
  • Palate: Agave forward and beautifully balanced, with sweet and spice in harmony, fresh pineapple, baking spices, warm vanilla, and a subtle hint of champagne yeast from fermentation.
  • Finish: Medium bodied with a lasting, satisfying finish that lingers with warmth and gentle spice.

General Gorostieta Joven shines in a Paloma or a classic Tequila Sour, where its tropical fruit character and balanced sweetness elevate every sip without overwhelming the glass.


Best enjoyed neat or over a large ice cube to let the aromas open fully. General Gorostieta Joven Tequila is crafted from highland Blue Weber agave in Arandas, Jalisco, under NOM 1414.

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.
