Olmeca Altos

Olmeca Altos is the most-awarded tequila at the Tales of the Cocktail Spirited Awards, with 17 accolades since 2015, and serves as the preferred house pour at professional cocktail bars worldwide for its balance of citrus, black pepper, and cooked agave. The Plata expression is the universally agreed-upon tequila for margaritas, consistently beating #3 El Tesoro’s Blanco in bartender surveys due to its sharper acidity and lower cost of $30 per bottle compared to the average premium blanco at $45. A 10,000-bottle annual production run supports its role in high-volume settings, and its Gold Medal at the 2023 New York International Spirits Competition affirms its consistent quality. For mixologists and home bartenders alike, this is the workhorse that delivers every time.
