Two places, one bottle.

Tequila Trading Partners was never meant to be a brand first. It started as a trade between people who liked each other's company — a Jalisco distilling family with generations of agave behind them, and a handful of Midwesterners who wanted tequila good enough to pour for friends without explaining it.

1. The agave

   Jalisco, from the ground up

   Every bottle starts with mature blue Weber agave from the Jalisco highlands, slow-cooked and distilled by a family-run distillery that has been doing it the same way for generations.

2. The handshake

   Trading partners, literally

   The name is the story. A group of friends from the Upper Midwest and a Mexican distilling family agreed to trade what each did best — craft and patience for one side, community and a market for the other.

3. The place

   Minnesota and Wisconsin first

   Rather than chase every state at once, we started where we live. Bottle shops, supper clubs, lake bars and taverns across MN and WI carried the first cases and still set the pace.

4. The bottle

   Built for how we drink up here

   The 750 ml blanco and añejo hold the bar. The 250 ml trail bottle came from customers asking for something that fits a hunting pack and an ice house without breaking.
