Distiller Notes
Among the most famous tequila families, the Orendain name is distinguished. Don Eduardo Orendain Gonzalez founded the beloved Tequila Orendain in 1926. This distinguished tequila comes from Don Eduardo's private and forgotten casks. To honor his legacy and love of traditions, his sons, Jaime, Carlos, Alfonso, and Juan Jose have produced and aged this tequila using his original recipe, including hand-harvested agave from a very special plantation.
Imperio del Don's rich color reflects copper shades and displays heavy robust tears. The cooked agave along with the herbal notes, chocolate, and vanilla aromas help release the vanilla, chocolate, honey, and cinnamon flavors in every sip. Very smooth.

First produced in the 16th century when Spanish conquistadors ran short of Brandy on their expedition to the New World, Tequila is made by distilling the juice from the heart of the blue agave plant that grows in Jalisco, Mexico. Tequilas can range from clear and unaged, known as Blanco, to darker, barrel-aged Reposado, Anejo and Extra Anejo. Popularized as the essential ingredient to the refreshing Margarita, it is also commonly enjoyed neat or with a side of lime and salt.
