Producer history Olmeca

The Olmeca brand was created in 1967 in the Tequila region of Jalisco. Over time production shifted toward the highlands (Los Altos) of Jalisco; the brand passed through various industrial owners and is now part of the group managed under Pernod Ricard's House of Tequila. Over the years the range expanded to include Silver, Reposado, Gold and flavored variants such as the chocolate line.
