Pueblo Viejo Tequila
Value tequila from Jalisco, poured honestly in Commack.
The story behind Pueblo Viejo
Pueblo Viejo is a Jalisco tequila label built on the everyday end of the shelf: a blanco, a reposado and an anejo, all made from blue Weber agave under the rules that govern the category. The blanco goes straight from still to bottle, clear and unaged. The reposado rests in oak for the short months the law requires and picks up a little color and roundness. The anejo stays longer and comes out darker and softer.
We do not publish a distillery number or a founding date for Pueblo Viejo here, because we would rather be accurate than specific. What we can tell you is what the bottles do. This is a working tequila, the kind that goes in a margarita without a second thought and holds up neat if you give it a minute. We have sold it for years to people who want agave flavor without a ceremony or a premium.

Which Pueblo Viejo is right for you?
The ladder is simple. Pueblo Viejo Blanco at $19.99 is the mixer and the shot, clean agave for margaritas and palomas. Step up to the Reposado at $22.99 and you get a few months of oak softening the edges, which is the bottle most people keep on the counter. The Anejo at $28.99 is the sipper of the three, darker and rounder for the money. None of these prices ask you to take a risk.
Clean agave at $19.99 that you will not wince at pouring into a pitcher.
A little oak softens it enough to sip, still cheap enough to mix.
Darker, rounder and under $30, for a glass after dinner.
Pueblo Viejo cocktails and pairings
Keep it simple and salty. Tequila likes acid, char and a little heat more than it likes sweetness.
