Additive-free

Tequila rules allow up to 1% of abocantes — glycerin, caramel colour, oak extract and sugar-based syrup — without any mention on the label. That 1% can round a young spirit, darken a barrel that did not do its job, or add a sweetness the agave never had.

Every bottle on this shelf is listed by the Additive-Free Alliance, an independent program that buys bottles at retail and lab-tests them, or is declared additive-free by its producer. If we cannot confirm it, the bottle is not here.
