La Alteña distillery was created in 1937 by Don Felipe Camarena. He was a visionary man who saw the potential to make a great tequila in the mineral-rich highlands of Jalisco. Today, his grandson Carlos Camarena is the Master Distiller and his sister, Jenny Camarena, is Director of Operations.
The Camarena family continues to honor the traditional way Don Felipe made tequila over 80 years ago.
