The story
The brand changed its name from Tezcal to Tiscaz in 2009 after a legal dispute. It was previously managed within La Martiniquaise's portfolio; in 2019 the Tiscaz brand was sold (an operation linked to ownership structure provisions) and its commercial activity in France was transferred to a distributor specialised in spirits. French regulatory documents indicate that the commercial activity linked to Tiscaz did not have its own production facility, purchasing tequila in bulk and then reducing/bottling it for the European market.
Production philosophy
Positioned for mass retail and for use in mixology; a product designed for broad consumption with focus on value and presence in large-scale retail channels.
Territory
Mainly marketed in France and in various European markets; the raw material and distillation come from Mexico (suppliers in the Jalisco region).
Production method
According to public documentation, the tequila sold under the Tiscaz brand is purchased in bulk from suppliers in Mexico (including the Cooperativa Tequilera La Magdalena), then diluted with water and bottled/labeled by the commercial partner responsible for distribution to the European market.
Distillation
Double distillation (reported in commercial datasheets and consistent with practices of bulk tequila suppliers).
Ageing
For the Gold version: short maturation in oak barrels (commercial product sheets suggest a minimum of 2 months according to some sources). The Silver version is presented as unaged.
