Whisky Advocate On The Latest From Mijenta Tequila

Most Tequila makers source their agave from Jalisco—the most prominent of the five Mexican territories permitted to make Tequila under government rules. Those focused on terroir often tout either Highland agave (grown in Jalisco’s colder high-altitude areas) or Lowland agave (from warmer valley terrain).

But the latest from the Mijenta brand, Maestra Selection No. 2 ($75), has taken things beyond those borders—by tapping agave grown not only in Jalisco, but in all five of Tequila’s blue agave-growing states: Guanajuato, Jalisco, Michoacan, Nayarit, and Tamaulipas.

Mijenta’s core releases come from agave grown in the Highlands, specifically in Arandas. The brand is estimated at just under 50,000 cases in the U.S., according to Impact Databank. Whisky Advocate has more on the new entry.
