Don Eduardo is the fifth generation of the Orendain family to distill Tequila in its ancestral home. Arette tequilas are all made from 100% agave, grown on the family's practicing organic estate in the town of Tequila, Jalisco. To create Arette, Eduardo and Jaime Orendain returned to El Llano distillery, the original building where the family history of Tequila production began in the early 1900s. El Llano was rebuilt in 1978 and Tequila Arette was born in 1986. These estate-bottled 100% de Agave Tequilas are a combination of heritage, craft and value.
