Description

Arette Clásico Blanco represents the authentic character of traditional tequila. Produced by the Orendain family at the historic El Llano Distillery, one of the oldest operating distilleries in Tequila, Jalisco, it is crafted to deliver a clean, crisp expression of 100% Blue Weber Agave while remaining approachable and exceptionally versatile.

The Clásico range is produced with a focus on consistency and purity, using traditional fermentation and double distillation to preserve the true essence of agave.

About Arette

Arette was founded in 1986 by Eduardo and Jaime Orendain after reviving the historic El Llano Distillery, originally established in 1900. Named after the Olympic gold medal-winning horse "Arete," the brand celebrates excellence, heritage and authentic tequila craftsmanship.

Today, Arette remains one of the few completely independent family-owned tequila producers and one of the four founding tequila families still operating independently in Mexico.
