The craft

Slow agave. Open-air fermentation. Two distillations.

Paladar harvests seven-year Blue Weber agave from its own fields. The piñas are slow-cooked in brick ovens, then fermented in open-air pine boxes with wild and proprietary yeast. Every batch is twice distilled in a blend of copper and stainless steel pot stills, building clarity, structure, and agave depth.

  • CookSlow-cooked in brick ovens
  • FermentOpen-air pine boxes, wild and proprietary yeast
  • DistillTwice, copper and stainless steel pot blend

Paladar's foundation was shaped by Eduardo Orendain Jr. and the traditions of El Llano Distillery (NOM 1109) in Tequila, Jalisco. That relationship still guides how Paladar approaches production, transparency, and traditional methods.
