What it brings to the back bar.
El Tequileño is a historic tequila house with a range that spans accessible classics and more premium aged expressions. It works well for venues that need both dependable cocktail tequila and bottles with a stronger story behind them.
The ABUK range includes Blanco, Platinum, Reposado and Gran Reserva expressions, with strengths and formats that cover everyday menu use through to more specialist pours. The flavour direction is agave-led, versatile and highly usable.
