Tequilas to Watch This Fall

Brace Your Bar Cart: Tequilas to Watch This Fall

🧨 High Proof. High Stakes.

Tequila Ocho Cask Strength Anejo (Corralillos & Tierras Negras)
If 109 proof doesn’t scare you, these are your moment. You can almost taste the agave through the screen.
Siempre Supremo Special Cut High Proof Blanco (NOM 1414)
Sergio Cruz is aiming straight at the top shelf here.
Zumbador HP Blanco (NOM 1643)
This one’s flying under the radar—for now. But the whispers are getting louder.
?? High Proof Blanco — We saw the label. Then we forgot it. Completely. Absolutely nothing to see here.

The Barrel-Aged Big Leagues

El Tesoro Extra Aged in Honor of Felipe J. Camarena (NOM 1139)
Expensive? Yes. Worth it? Probably. This is a tribute we’re lining up for.
El Ateo Antimateria XA (NOM 1635)
With a name like Antimateria, you know they’re swinging for weird and wonderful.
Don Vicente Fuerte Reposado (NOM 1579)
Do they even make anything bad? This one’s bound to fly.
Amatitena Extra Añejo (NOM 1477)
Quietly confident brand. Loudly aged tequila.
Yéyo High Proof Rosa Reposado (NOM 1579)
A rosa repo at high proof? We’re intrigued—and thirsty.
Calle 23 Criollo “El Dos” Reposado
This already has legendary status in the social media world. You see, snag it, no regrets later.

🔥 NOM 1414 Is on Fire

You know the drill: if Sergio Cruz is anywhere nearby, people are talking.

Siempre Rebel Cask (NY/NJ Agave Club Edition)
Small release. Big potential. Find it before it finds you.
Lost Lore Joven
A joven from NOM 1414? Sergio, you sneaky genius.
Lost Lore Madera Blanco
If the Tahona release blew your mind, this one might bury the needle. Pre-order and relax.
De Nada Añejo
Their blanco was clean and crushable. Hoping this one brings the same magic — just dressed up.
Viva Mexico Madera Blanco
Get in line now. This could be the blanco of the season.
Siempre Conexiones Blanco
Not sure what it is. Don’t care. It’s 1414, it’s Sergio, and we’re in.
Esquisito Ultra Premium Blanco
Name’s trying a little too hard, but we’re hopeful the juice doesn’t have to.
Tequila Cultura 100 Reposado
Underrated brand. This one might end up as one of the best sipping repos of the year.

🎩 The Weird, the WILD, and the Waitlists

Entremanos Primavera 2025 (NOM 1522)
Oak + steel fermented blanco? Either genius or madness. We’re betting on both.
Tequila Agua Dios Mizunara Cask (NOM 1468)
Mizunara wood is rare in tequila. This could be subtle perfection or weirdly perfumed. Either way—we’ll taste it.
Mjenta Maestra Selection No. 2 Blanco (NOM 1412)
Selection No. 1 set a high bar. This one better bring the same energy.
Nosotros “XICA” Blanco (NOM 1438)
XICA sounds mysterious. Hoping the tequila is as cool as the name.
Santanera Batch Partida (NOM 1466)
They don’t miss often. We’re ready.

🌄 Estate-Driven, Small Batch, Big Flavor

These bottles are rooted in place — literally. Whether it’s estate-grown agave, single-ranch sourcing, or terroir-forward expression, this group is all about flavor with a sense of origin.

Almatitan Llano de Hernandez 25 Series (Blanco, Plata, Reposado)
Estate-hopping with intent. Almatitan is exploring new ground with each release — and we’re here for it.
Tequila Ocho (Laguna Colorada, La Mesa, Las Raices)
New estates, same magic. Ocho continues their masterclass in agave terroir.
Mi Casa High Proof Blanco (NOM 1499)
At 110 proof, this single-ranch blanco could deliver the same brilliance that made their 9-year XA such a sleeper hit.
AD Reposado (NOM 1123)
Barrel-aged beauty from one of the most respected additive-free distilleries in Jalisco. Could quietly become one of the best repos of the year.

🛎 Final Sip

Your cart’s not ready. Your wallet is whimpering. And your tequila shelf? Already eyeing the bourbon bottles, like, “Y’all might wanna move.”

NOM 1414 is in takeover mode — with Siempre Rebel, Lost Lore Joven, De Nada Añejo, and Viva Mexico Madera all lining up to wreck your budget.

Tequila Ocho is rolling out more estate drops than a telenovela has plot twists — and somehow we still want every single one.

Meanwhile, Mi Casa’s 110-proof blanco is coming in hot, and El Tesoro’s tribute XA might just test your “I’m not spending that much” resolve.

Bottom line? Fall 2025 is not the season to sleep on.
We’ll keep sipping. You keep watching.
And when these bottles drop — we’ll tell you what’s worth chasing.
