AboutEl Sabino
El Sabino distillery makes Tequila López in Jesús María, in the highlands of Jalisco. The López family has worked in tequila for four generations, drawing on mature blue Weber agave from the distillery’s Las Presas ranch. The ranch has a history of cultivation reaching back to the eighteenth century.
Production uses two lines: one with masonry ovens, a stone tahona for crushing, wooden fermentation vats and copper stills; the other with stainless-steel equipment.
Tequila López Blanco
Mexican Tequila & Mezcal
Cooked agave leads the nose, joined by fresh herbs and bright citrus. The palate is clean and direct, with agave honey adding a gentle roundness before white pepper and mineral notes restore a drier, more structured line. Made from blue agave grown in the highlands of Jalisco, the spirit carries the freshness and clarity expected of an unaged tequila without losing depth. The finish is crisp, lightly peppery and mineral. Serve neat, in a Margarita or in a tall Paloma.
Tequila López Reposado
Mexican Tequila & Mezcal
Cooked agave and bright citrus open a polished highland profile, followed by caramel, vanilla and toasted nuts. Blue Weber agave from the Lopez family’s El Sabino estate grows in iron-rich volcanic soil before the spirit rests for six months in American white oak. The palate is medium-bodied and smooth, bringing honeyed sweetness, cinnamon and clove around a firm agave centre. Buttery oak and a touch of wood add structure. A long, warming finish carries pepper and butterscotch. Sip neat or use in a Reposado Old Fashioned.
