Jon Basíl Tequila

Jon Basíl Tequila is a premium spirits company specializing in 100% Blue Weber Agave tequila production. Founded by Uduimoh Umolu and imported by Basil Chicago Spirits, the company represents one of the first multicultural millennial-owned and operated spirits companies in the industry. Born in Jalisco, Mexico and raised in Chicago, Jon Basíl Tequila embodies a unique blend of traditional Mexican craftsmanship and modern American entrepreneurship. The company offers three distinct tequila expressions: Blanco, Reposado, and Añejo. Their Blanco serves as the foundation for all their products, crafted from 100% Blue Weber agave sourced from both the highlands and lowlands of Tequila, Jalisco. The Reposado is aged for 9 months, while their premium Añejo expression is meticulously aged for over 18 months in oak barrels, following their philosophy that excellence takes time. The brand's Blue Agave plants require 7-8 years to properly mature before harvesting.
