Aristocrat Tequila
Highland Jalisco agave, double distilled, built for the blender.
The story behind Aristocrat
Aristocrat Tequila comes out of Jalisco, made from blue agave grown in the highland Los Altos region, where mineral rich soil and natural springs give the plant its size and sweetness. The liquid is double distilled, which is why it reads clean and neutral rather than hot or grassy. The label is trademarked and distributed in the US by Heaven Hill Distilleries of Bardstown, Kentucky, and historical label text ties sourcing to Grosscurth Distillers Co. in Jalisco.
We have poured this one for decades, and it has never pretended to be a sipping tequila. It is a mixing brand, priced to disappear into a batch of margaritas without dragging the flavor of the drink down with it. Both expressions are bottled at 40% ABV, 80 proof. There are no major competition medals on record for this line, and we will not invent any.

Which Aristocrat is right for you?
Aristocrat sits in the economy tier, and we price it that way. The Gold 1L is $13.99 and the Silver 1L is $13.99, so a full liter of 80 proof tequila costs less than a single bar cocktail. If you are stocking a party, that math matters more than any tasting note. The Triple Sec 1L at $5.99 rounds out a margarita setup for under twenty dollars, and the Gin 1.75L at $16.99 handles the gin drinkers in the same cart.

Rounder and milder, so a pitcher stays smooth with triple sec and lime.
Clean and neutral, mixes into palomas and sodas without fighting the juice.
Cheap orange liqueur that finishes the margarita cart without a second stop.
