LALO Tequila was founded by Eduardo “Lalo” González, the grandson of Don Julio, and David “R” Carballido, two friends who grew up together in Mexico and share three generations of tequila-making experience. Lalo and David set out to create the purest expression of tequila that would honor their heritage, ancestry and homeland. They first created LALO as a small batch tequila for their family and friends to enjoy on special occasions. Their small batch tequila received so many rave reviews from their local community that Lalo and David knew they had to share LALO with the world to honor the legacy of Lalo’s father (also known as Lalo), grandfather, and the spirit of modern Mexico with the masses.
Since inception, LALO has been crafted with the finest ingredients to ensure that the integrity and flavor of the agave is maintained. What was once a celebratory small batch tequila has gone on to nationally available, and one of the top ten fastest-growing spirits in the United States. The dedication to authenticity and purity is evident in every sip and is a testament to Lalo and David’s bold new approach to perfecting Blanco tequila. Each bottle of LALO is crafted with just three simple ingredients; champagne yeast, handpicked agave from the Jalisco highlands, and water. The champagne yeast brings out the bright crisp flavor of the tequila and the traditional cooking process allows the complex essence of the agave to shine through and be enjoyed. LALO is distilled only twice and does not use any barrels or additives for a clean drinking experience.
LALO’s crystal clear liquid boasts top notes of cooked agave, sweet potato, and a hint of dulce de leche as well as notes of citrus and tropical fruit. The flavor profile of the tequila makes it ideal for sipping neat or mixing into cocktails. LALO is the embodiment of modern Mexico from its premium, pure tequila and artfully designed bottle, it brings the spirit of Mexico to life one sip at a time.
