Carlos CamarenaMaster Distiller, El Tesoro® De Don Felipe Tequilas
Today, Don Felipe’s son, Carlos Camarena, remains faithful to his late father’s time-honored production methods, as the master distiller of the world’s most splendid tequilas. Carlos wanted to be a musician. But instead he uses the skills of blending the high notes at the La Altena distillery. La Alteña is the last distillery of its kind where tequila is made the same way it was in the early 1900s. El Tesoro is the only tequila in the world that is double-distilled to proof without water added.

distillery and created El Tesoro, one of the first tequilas of exceptional
quality. 
La Alteña distillery stands high up in the mountains of
Jalisco, Mexico. This is where they grow the state’s finest ingredients,
and meticulously handcraft every bottle of El Tesoro.
