Libélula Joven is made from 100% blue agave harvested just steps from our small distillery. The golden color of our tequila comes from aging, adding depth to this vibrant spirit.

Our blanco honors the natural flavors of the agave, with citrus and grassy aromas, while the oak-aged reposado adds layers of vanilla and spice. Blended together they create a harmony that transcends tequila as we know it.

Crafted using the same attention to detail and commitment to traditions, our reposado embodies the balance which has delighted Libélula drinkers for years. 

The Destiladora Bonanza master distiller scoured the aging room in Ojo de Agua to carefully choose the perfect barrels so she could bring libélula’s reposado to life.  Using a selection of tequila rested for 8 months in American oak bourbon barrels, the resulting golden liquid embraces the mystical side of the dragonfly. Dancing gracefully between agave and wood, our reposado is light in body and soft on the palate, with flavors of vanilla, cocoa, ground clove, and ripe red berries.

We believe tequila should honor the agave and be free of any additives or sweeteners. We choose quality and hand-made over tools of mass production. In many ways, the things we don’t do are just as important.

the journey to libélula

  • Growing and Harvest

    Libélula is made with 100% Blue Agave grown in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. We work with farmers from our community to harvest the best of the season.

  • Roasting

    At the distillery, the piñas - the heart of the plant resembling a pineapple - are stacked in large ovens where they will be steamed, converting natural starches into sugar. We use large handmade brick ovens to slow roast and autoclaves with increased pressure for what will become reposado and blanco respectively.

  • Milling

    Once cooled, piñas are shredded and pressed to extract the juices for fermentation.

  • fermentation

    The juices are added to open air tanks where natural and cultivated yeasts are introduced to begin the process of converting sugars into alcohol.

From here, our reposado and blanco take different paths, but they will meet again…

  • Libélula reposado is distilled twice in small batches using a copper pot still and water from our natural spring. Here, steam vaporizes the alcohol and then condenses it in a cooled coil, removing impurities. The smaller batches allow for less exposure to heat and result in the smoothest tequila. We then age our reposado in used American Oak Casks for a minimum of 8 months

  • Libélula’s innovative blend accentuates the best of both spirits, creating the perfect harmony. It’s the best of tradition and ingenuity to create a beautifully balanced spirit for sipping or mixing.

  • Libélula blanco is distilled twice in a copper pot still using the pure water from our natural spring. During this process steam vaporizes the alcohol and then condenses it in a cooled coil. The resulting tequila is smooth and floral, while remaining agave forward.
