CASA DEL SOL TEQUILA

Casa Del Sol announced the launch of their new luxury sipping tequila co-founded by Mexican-American actress, producer, director, and activist Eva Longoria. Casa Del Sol is a distinct spirit made from the finest hand-selected 100% Blue Weber agave sourced from rich clay soil in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico.

The brand taps dynamic talent with authentic Mexican roots, including Alejandra Pelayo, Casa Del Sol's head of production, protégé and goddaughter of the late Francisco Alcaraz, tequila pioneer and master distiller / creator of Patrón. "Legacy and authenticity are huge components of Casa Del Sol, and it was important for us to pay homage to the past through every facet of the brand, including our logo, which is visibly inspired by Mayahuel, 'The Goddess of Tequila'," says Mariana Padilla, Artesana Tequilera of Casa Del Sol. "Our long-standing Mexican roots, rich heritage and distinct aging process has paved a way for the future, helping to create a brand unlike others in the space," says Alejandra Pelayo, Head of Production of Casa Del Sol.

Where most tequila brands source whiskey barrels from the United States, Casa Del Sol partnered with Laurent Martell, the 9th generation of the Martell family in France, and sourced Cognac barrels handcrafted with French Limousin Oak. Casa Del Sol has a unique barrel aging process that results in a distinct flavor and aromatic profile where old world craftsmanship meets new world artistry, infusing Mexican tradition with notes of French heritage. The result is the sophisticated duality of two designated regions protected by similar appellations of origin.

Casa Del Sol offers three distinctive sipping tequilas – Blanco, Reposado and Añejo and is available for sale at select retailers and restaurants throughout California, Colorado, and Florida, and for pre-sale nationwide online.
