Old Mexico Tequila
Jalisco Blue Weber tequila, priced for the second round.
The story behind Old Mexico
Old Mexico Tequila comes out of Los Valles in Jalisco, Mexico, where Blue Weber agave is slow-cooked for several days in stone and brick ovens before mechanical roller mills pull the juice. It is a mixto, meaning a small portion of pure cane sugar joins the agave in open-air fermentation tanks for up to 48 hours, then two passes through copper pot stills, single batches, under NOM 1438 at Destiladora del Valle de Tequila.
We have poured and sold this label for years, and the appeal has never changed: honest peppery agave at a price that lets you mix without flinching. The brand's founding history is thin in the official records, so we will not dress it up. What we can tell you is what is in the bottle.

Which Old Mexico is right for you?
Old Mexico sits in the value tier, and we price it that way. The Blanco 1L is $12.99 and the Oro 1L is $13.99. Step up to the 1.75L and both the Blanco and the Oro land at $25.99, which is the smarter buy if you are stocking a party bar or a back bar.
