Mosto Tequila

Mosto Tequila is a small-batch, premium tequila brand produced at NOM 1580 in Jesús María, Jalisco, Mexico, within the renowned Los Altos de Jalisco (Highlands) appellation. Founded by the Benavides Brothers — Jalisco natives with deep roots in hospitality and craft beverage — in partnership with The Veil Brewing Co., the brand is majority Mexican owned and was created to bring uncompromising, artisanal tequila to global markets. All agave is 100% estate grown in the highland region and hand-harvested, ensuring full traceability and consistency of raw material from field to bottle. The company employs traditional production methods without shortcuts, emphasizing pure agave spirit and honest process.

Mosto currently produces three expressions. The Mosto Blanco is an unaged tequila bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV) in 750 ml format, showcasing fresh agave, bright citrus, and herbal notes characteristic of highland terroir. The Mosto Reposado is aged in rare bourbon barrels, delivering vanilla, caramel, and bourbon spice at 80 proof, and was awarded Best Overall Tequila and a Double Gold (97 points) at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2026. The Mosto Edición Salvaje is a still-strength, uncut blanco bottled at 106 proof (53% ABV), featuring roasted agave, smoke, and mineral salt; it earned a Double Gold (98 points) and was a Best Blanco finalist at the same competition.

The brand's competitive positioning centers on highland provenance, estate-grown agave, award-winning quality, and a culturally authentic identity rooted in the traditions of small-town Jalisco. Mosto targets premium spirits consumers, on-premise accounts, and specialty retail channels globally, positioning itself within the growing ultra-premium and craft tequila segment.
