El Tesoro is a premium tequila brand produced by Tequila Tapatio, S.A. de C.V. who make their teuila at the La Alteña Distillery. La Alteña was founded in 1937 by Don Felipe Camarena and is located near the town of Arandas in the Jalisco (Los Altos Southern) Highlands.
The distillery uses traditional means to produce their tequila preferring the Tohona Wheel to the roller mill for shredding the agave pina’s, after of course the pinas have been baked in brick stone ovens.

In 2021 Tequila Tapatio, S.A. de C.V. was named Tequila producer of the year by the prestigious IWSC (International Wine & Spirits Competition.
