Background and Distillery
Arette is produced by a family-run operation in Tequila, Jalisco — the heart of Mexico's tequila-producing region and the town that gave the spirit its name. The brand carries the NOM (Norma Oficial Mexicana) designation required for all authentic tequila, meaning it is produced under regulated standards using blue Weber agave grown in the officially designated territory.
Tequila from this part of Jalisco is prized for the distinct character imparted by the region's soil and climate. Producers in the Tequila Valley, often referred to as the lowlands, tend to craft tequilas with an earthy, herbaceous, and slightly peppery profile, which is a hallmark of Arette's house style.
House Style and Range
Arette focuses on 100% agave tequila, avoiding the shortcuts of mixto (mixed-sugar) production. The core lineup typically includes a Blanco (unaged), a Reposado (rested in oak), and an Añejo (aged longer in barrels), giving drinkers a spectrum from fresh and vegetal to smooth and oak-influenced.
The Blanco is generally clean and crisp, showcasing pure cooked-agave flavor with citrus and pepper notes. The Reposado picks up light gold color and subtle vanilla and caramel from oak aging, while the Añejo delivers deeper, rounder flavors with more pronounced barrel character.
Beyond the standard range, Arette has released more premium and specialty bottlings over the years aimed at connoisseurs. Availability of specific expressions can vary, so check the current listings on this page for what is in stock and shipping.
How to Enjoy and Buy
Arette Blanco is an excellent choice for margaritas and cocktails where bright agave flavor should shine, while it also holds up well sipped neat or over ice for those who enjoy the pure spirit. The Reposado and Añejo are best appreciated slowly, either neat or with a single large ice cube, allowing the oak and agave layers to unfold.
When buying, consider what you plan to do with the bottle: Blanco offers the best value for mixing, while aged expressions suit sipping occasions. As a 100% agave tequila, Arette generally offers strong quality relative to its price point, making it a dependable pick for both everyday enjoyment and gifting.
