About Dulce Vida Spirits:

Dulce Vida, translated as "sweet life" in Spanish, uses only 100% organic agave from the Los Altos region of Jalisco, Mexico. Due to the unique climatic characteristics and the distinctive air & soil, this area is well known for producing larger, fruitier agave, ideal for tequila. This organic agave ensures Dulce Vida produces their product the way tequila has always tasted best: pure and powerful, free of any additives.

Dulce Vida's products are 100 Proof to capture the absolute purest form of tequila with minimal dilution. The result is a decidedly flavorful and authentic tequila, distinct and smooth. Demonstrating the outstanding flavor profile of Dulce Vida are over 40 top medals in respected taste competitions, including: Platinum from the SIP International Spirits Competition, Double Gold from San Francisco World Spirits Competition, Best of Category from the Los Angeles International Spirits Competition, Gold from The Fifty Best, Gold from the New York International Spirits Competition, and the Best Anejo of the Year from Tequila.net.

Dulce Vida has also gained packaging recognition, earning back-to-back first place wins in 2011 and 2012 for the Wine & Spirit Category from the Tag & Label Manufacturers Institute, a second place overall for the Spirits Category from Beverage World Magazine for 2012, and top honors for the Tequila Category from The DieLine packaging organization.

Dulce Vida's tequilas are distilled under the supervision of founder and master distiller Carlos Jurado. Dulce Vida has established relationships with local organic growers - securing harvest rights to agave fields and acting as a community partner, playing a role in the well being of the region through utilization of sustainable practices.
