Welcome!
El Bastón del Rey is an ultra premium craft tequila that is incredibly delicious and sensationally smooth. We also make an amazing artisanal whiskey that is finished in our Extra Añejo tequila barrels. Our tequilas are made for sipping, but it also makes some of the best cocktails you’ll ever taste. Come give us a try and find out what makes us different from the other tequilas that are out there.
Mature Blue Agave
El Bastón del Rey uses 7 ½ year old blue agave for natural sweetness and maximum flavor...
Slow Roasted
The agave piñas are slow roasted for three days (instead of steaming in a few hours like other tequilas) using smoke from the robles wood (a Mexican oak) as a spice. The slow roasting brings out the full, natural sweetness of the agave...
Natural Flavor
Our unique approach takes advantage of the natural flavors inherent in perfectly ripe agave with perfect terroir. No yeast, no flavoring, no chemicals, no fruit juice - just the pure flavor of the best agave in the world...
A taste of terroir
Our tequila is a true reflection of terroir – selecting agave based on their specific soil, topography, and climate. We build our taste profile on what nature put into our blue agave so that we get the very best out of our tequila and whiskey.

Reviews
El Bastón del Rey
Silver Tequila
El Bastón del Rey is a bold, one of a kind Silver tequila. Experience old school class with this character rich tequila.
“Wouldn't even be fair to put it in competition with mainstream, run of the mill, average tequilas.”
“This is really different. I can't say that in my entire career of drinking, that I've had a blue agave tequila that tasted like this.”
El Bastón del Rey
Reposado Tequila
You'll feel like you've found a hidden treasure with this rich, golden Reposado. You first experience a sweetness of wood and butterscotch on the nose, with a long, lingering finish of blue agave...giving you that vintage tequila experience.
“This is certainly a stand out.”
“This is like the reposados I was falling in love with when I was first getting into tequila.”
El Bastón del Rey
Añejo Tequila
This is an aficianado’s tequila! Beautiful color and incredible mouth feel. Their Añejo is so complex and there are so many levels to it, it won’t reveal itself to you right away. The depth, balance, and character of this Añejo is extraordinary.
“This is spectacular, man!!!”
“This is completely different, and it’s one we will be talking about forever.”
El Bastón del Rey
Extra Añejo Tequila
Gorgeous color! Fantastic on the nose. This reveals itself to you in layers. Beautiful balance, dried cherries and plums, deep notes, some leather and tobacco, and it keeps evolving. Some beautiful spices, like cinnamon, but it has a nice dry finish.
“Folks, make an effort to get this. Not only is it a great sipping tequila, it ... shows what can be possible when you innovate in an old school way. Who knew?”
“A great apéritif! Would be amazing with dessert, like a tiramisu, crem brulee’, or maybe a flan.”
