Behind The Caleon Tequila Bottle – Lifestyle, Cocktails, and Tequila Stories

In its recent feature, Straight from the Bottle celebrates Caleon Tequila as a rising star among premium tequilas — calling it “a spirited standout in the world of spirits.” The article highlights how our foundations in Jalisco’s volcanic soil, traditional distillation methods (like stone ovens and natural fermentation), and rigorous aging combine to deliver a tequila with both authenticity and complexity.
