"To understand 3 Amigos Tequila you first need to understand where the company’s roots start and
why the roots will only grow deeper as time goes on.
In 1968 the Gonzalez family arrived in the land of opportunity, leaving their home that they grew to
love. They set forth to do what most other Mexican families set out to do, pave the road for the
future.
In the beginning Francisco and Ramona Gonzalez, also known to the family as Papa Pancho and Mama
Mona were the parents of fourteen children. Francisco was a business man that was well educated
and a wise man that believed in hard work and fairness. He was a well respected man among the
community for his integrity and honesty and having others well being come before his own. Ramona
always a loving wife and mother was the one that carried the green thumb in the family. She was
born and raised on a farm. Her presence has always been able to warm a cold room; you could say
she is the sunlight on a cloudy day.
When the couple married they stayed in the city of Tepatitlan, Jalisco, owning and running a goods
store and they did very well, but Ramona became homesick and Francisco gave up the city life and
they moved into the country farm land where they started farming. Family always came first, respect
always was in the air in the Gonzalez family household, responsibility started at a young age, and
hard work ran through the genes of the family.
As the Gonzalez family grew older and started their own families they never grew apart, in fact they
were more united. When the Gonzalez brothers got together they decided to start a business
together from the ground up and G Farms was accomplished by the family. G Farms is a farming
company that has been around over 20 years growing watermelons, onions, potatoes, corn, and
alfalfa. The Gonzalez brothers started the farming business with 200 acres and now farm 4,000
acres! After the success of the farm, Wood Unlimited, a wood chip processing plant, was added to
the Gonzalez family owned business for over 10 years now. As demand for alfalfa pellets grew the
Gonzalez brothers decided to expand and build a pellet mill making G Farms Quality Feeds.
The Gonzalez brothers yet again decided to go on another business venture, tequila! Among the
brothers involved are Santiago, Juan, Antonio, Eleno, Atanacio and their nephew Salvador Gonzalez.
Together they believed that they could produce superb tequila at a reasonable price.
Tequila is a spirit that can only be made in Mexico and nowhere else, making the spirit exclusive and
special to Mexico and to all tequila drinkers and tequila experts. Tequila is also made in certain regions
of Mexico. The Gonzalez’s were fortunate to be from the heart of region where tequila is produced.
The Gonzalez’s were also experienced in growing agaves for unsurpassed tequila at the time. As time
passed, premium tequilas were being bought out by outside investors and soon the bottom line was
the main concern. This is why 3 Amigos was made.
3 Amigos is premium tequila that is family own, managed, and controlled. The red, rich, and inclined
land that 3 Amigos grows their agave is owned by 3 Amigos. When agave is grown it is transplanted
from a more mature agave that sprouts out young agave. These agaves are not introduced to any
pesticides or herbicides making the tequila organic. All work is provided by ranch hands, who shave
off some of the leaves from the agaves; as well as cattle that consume the weeds and grass. Bio,
positive bacteria, is used to help the agave by releasing all the nutrients the ground has to offer to
the agave.
During the harvesting the jimadores, also known as the harvesters, harvest only the ripe agave to
ensure 3 Amigos quality is consistent. When harvesting, the agave is shaved off all of its leaves by
the jimador; making it look like a huge pineapple! The agaves can weigh as much as 200 pounds!
After the agave is shaved it is loaded on a truck and leaves to the distillery. The whole harvesting
process is monitored by an experienced chemist who happens to be a member of the family.
At the distillery the agaves are loaded onto a pressure cooking oven for approximately twelve hours.
Then from the oven the cooked agaves are loaded onto a conveyor that takes them to a juicer. The
juicer extracts all the juice from the cooked agave. The juice is un-distilled tequila, but is not yet
drinkable. 3 Amigos Tequila distills their tequila twice. There are 3 types of tequilas that 3 Amigos
makes blanco, reposado, and anejo. Blanco is double distilled tequila that is put straight into a bottle.
Reposado- is blanco tequila that is aged for a minimum of 3 months to a year in white oak barrels, 3
Amigos Reposado is aged for 11 months. Anejo is blanco tequila that is aged at a minimum of a year
in white oak barrels, 3 Amigos Anejo is aged for at least 2 years.
“3 Amigos is a family owned business. We are a team that is very proud of our tequila. We grow and
harvest our agave in our red rich soil located in Los Altos in Jalisco, Mexico. We hand pick our agave
at its prime, pressure cook our agave at perfect settings, and distill our tequila two times to ensure
that quality will always be maintained. With all the variables controlled 3 Amigos Tequila introduces to
you the best tequila in the world. Salud!” - 3 Amigos Website

| New 3 Bottle Gift Sets |
I have to say that I love these new gift sets. I do not know the estimated cost of the sets but since
the regular bottles are so reasonably priced I am sure these will be too. Each set comes in a
wonderful cardboard box that has different agave field photos all over it. Upon opening the box,
there are all three varieties of 3 Amigos tequila and two shot glasses. This set is perfect for those
customers who would like to have a tequila tasting at their house and enables consumers to sample
all three products at a reasonable price. These exquisite sets debuted at the 2009 Las Vegas
Nightclub and Bar Show and should be available soon.
