1953 Añejo TequilaUltra-premium tequila made the right way, for the right reasons
Featured on the Today Show, named the Best Additive-Free Añejo tequila by Men’s Journal, Best Craft Añejo tequila by Robb Report, and awarded a platinum medal from the 2024 Chilled 100 Spirits awards and double gold at the 2024 SIP awards, 1953 Tequila is shaking up the spirits sector.
From the mineral-rich red soil of the Jalisco highlands, mature Blue Weber agave is responsibly harvested for 1953 Tequila. Distilled with natural spring water and aged for 15 months in the finest vintage American Oak barrels previously used for premium bourbon, we take no shortcuts.

The brand consciously makes its tequila with traditional methods and focuses on creating opportunities for women in the male-dominated tequila industry…It has an elevated palate with notes of caramel, vanilla, oak, and earthy agave. Sip this one neat to really get a sense of what it’s like. -Men’s Journal
