An exploration of the full line is to dive deeply into the heart and minds of the diversity of craft in making artisanal Tequilas. As the name indicates, through ArteNOM, these distillers are truly able to showcase the ART of their NOM.  Master Distiller Sergio Cruz oversees the production of this award-winning additive-free reposado tequila, which garnered 93 points and a Gold Medal for its exceptional character at BTI 2013. With a meticulous process involving traditional roasting, indigenous fermentation, and aging in bourbon-soaked American White Oak, this reposado is bottled at 41.2% ABV, showcasing the rich balance of Arandas’ terroir.
