Other Info: "Typical of the entire modern Mexicano tequila business, Agroindustrias
Guadalajara is a cooperative of 17 growers who formed their own company in 1994.
Theirs was the first new tequila license taken out in more than a decade, and they pre-
date the recent flood of newly formed tequila companies. They constructed a new
distillery in the town of Capilla de Guadalupe, halfway between Arandas and
Tepatitlan, in the Los Altos region.
The facility is modern and spotless with plenty of room for growth. As of 1997 it
contains two 16–18 ton autoclaves, three 3,500-liter stills, with production capabilities
of five thousand liters per day. All tequila is 100% blue agave, and the bulk of the
agaves are farmed by the partners.
Sounds pretty straightforward, right?
Heriberto Gomez is the president and director of the company. Working as production
manager is Elpidio Aceves. Together they released their first offering of tequila in 1995.
Called 30-30 (Treinta-Treinta), the tequila is currently available as a Reposado only,
aged in oak for two months.
Javier Aceves, Elpidio’s brother, was hired to market 30-30. He says he got it started,
but then decided to strike out on his own with the Jalisciense label. Once the
Jalisciense brand got rolling, Javier started his upscale premium band, El Amo Aceves,
an Añejo elaborately packaged in a rectangular, clear glass bottle with a small genuine
silver agave plant attached.
Additionally, by the summer of 1997, Agroindustrias Guadalajara was making the
Trancas brand, previously produced at El Viejito, in Atotonilco. Another brand called
Ambarfino is under development, specially designed for a major United States liquor
distributor, although they won’t say which one.
All these tequilas are produced at the same plant with Elpidio Aceves as the production
manager. The agaves come from the various 17 partners. I’ve been told that different
production techniques apply to the various brands, but the owners refuse to divulge
their secrets. The house style features good agave character, especially in the aromas,
decent caramel notes from the aging, but a pretty high burn from the alcohol." -From
