The Don Maximo Process
About Us


Santa Teresa Distillery
In the heart of Jalisco, Santa Teresa Distillery – NOM 1624 proudly preserves the essence of authentic artisanal tequila. Under the guidance of Master Distiller Carlos García Portillo, every step of the process honors tradition, using a volcanic stone tahona to patiently and carefully extract the purest essence of the agave.
Santa Teresa is more than a distillery—it is a family of dedicated craftsmen whose passion and hospitality have been passed down through generations, perfecting the art of transforming agave into tequila of exceptional character.
It is this unwavering commitment to authenticity that led Don Maximo to choose Santa Teresa as its home
a place where tradition, craftsmanship, and excellence come together to create a tequila that honors both the land and the people behind it.
