not just on the label

"He crawled to the refrigerator and got out three lemons and some cubes, found the tequila and set about restoring order to his nervous system." - Author Thomas Pynchon

When we say Omano Tequila is the real deal, we mean it. We have a passion for creating a new generation of tequila enthusiasts. We knew that to make that dream a reality, we’d need to go all in. We’d need to source the best ingredients and find Mexico-based distillers who share our passion. We wanted the Omano name to become a part of the rich historical record of one of the world’s most beloved spirits.

And so, we looked toward a little town called, you guessed it, Tequila. 

Tequila is a town dedicated to keeping the rich history of its famous export alive and well. Located near the foot of the Tequila Volcano, Tequila is surrounded by fields of blue agave, the key component of authentic tequila. 

Authentic tequila is an actual thing, in case you didn’t know. Much like bourbon, Scotch, and fine wines, tequila distilleries must follow a strict set of rules. Each bottle must be produced in the proper location and with the correct ingredients prepared under specific conditions. A reposado isn’t a reposado and an añejo isn’t an añejo if they aren’t aged properly. Omano wouldn’t be Omano if it were produced anywhere else in the world.

It took some searching, but eventually we found our perfect distillery partner, The Omano Distillery, located in the heart of the magical, intriguing city of Tequila, Jalisco.

We were drawn to the distillery for several reasons. One was the company’s focus on traditional tequila production methods, including the use of traditional stone masonry ovens and autoclaves, and its commitment to quality agaves. 

We also love that it was built on love. Created by a couple born in different countries, The distillery has developed a reputation as one of the best tequila producers in Mexico, winning gold medals in some of the world’s most prestigious spirits competitions. We are thrilled to become a part of the family. 

“Tequila, scorpion honey, harsh dew of the doglands, essence of Aztec, crema de cacti; tequila, oily and thermal like the sun in solution; tequila, liquid geometry of passion; Tequila, the buzzard god who copulates in midair with the ascending souls of dying virgins; tequila, firebug in the house of good taste; O tequila, savage water of sorcery, what confusion and mischief your sly, rebellious drops do generate!”​ - from Still Life with Woodpecker by Tom Robbins
