Producer notes: Made from 100% hand-selected Blue Agave from the Highlands of Jalisco, Rudo and Tecnico are double distilled in small batches in traditional alembic pot stills. Reposado is aged for 4 months in slightly charred American oak barrels that were previously used in bourbon production, while Anejo rests in small oak casks for 18 months. This long interaction between aging tequila and bourbon barrels results in the development of specific flavor characteristics such as baking spices, honey and subtle hints of caramel. These qualities of bourbon-barrel aged tequila make it desirable not only to tequila buyers but also to a large market of bourbon and whiskey drinkers.

Presentation of Rudo and Tecnico tequilas is based on the intricate masks that are worn by Lucha Libre wrestlers while competing on the arena. In Lucha Libre, a wrestling mask is a symbol of strength and empowerment, transforming an ordinary person into a fearless fighter against forces of evil, oppression and corruption. Borrowing heavily from Mexican mythology and folklore, Lucha Libre has turned masked men into brave heroes, into undeniable symbols of justice and hope. As a result, wrestling masks are considered "sacred" and play a crucial part in creating luchador’s image. A mask is worn by many luchadores not only in a wrestling ring but even in public, thereby keeping their identities secret from the adoring crowds.
