Tequila Distinguido New To Limited United States Markets
Houston, Texas-based SK Distillers has recently announced the launch Tequila Distinguido, a new line of ultra-premium Tequilas. Produced in Jalisco, Mexico, Tequila Distinguido Silver, Reposado and Anejo are made from 100-percent blue agave and spring water. The spirits are double distilled and each have 40-percent alcohol-by-volume. They are currently available in 14 markets, including Washington D.C., Florida, Maryland, Virginia, Colorado, New York, New Mexico, Ohio, South Carolina, Nevada, Illinois, California and Texas.
“The Tequila market has grown tremendously in the past four years, but what has been missing is an ultra-premium tequila that is affordable, attainable and speaks to the new luxury consumer,” says SK Distillers founder Regina Gaines. “We are projecting sales of $125 million in our first year, and we are, or will be soon, available in every state in the U.S.”
Tequila Distinguido Silver is bottled straight from the column, has hints of vanilla flavor and retails between $43.99 and $48 a 750-ml. bottle. Reposado is aged for six months in American oak barrels that were previously used to age Bourbon and retails from $48.99 to $52.99. The Anejo is aged for three years in oak barrels that were previously used to age Reposado Tequila.

Hey Rokeshia Huff,
“When will this be available in stores located in Alabama? How would I be able to order this product?”
Sorry Rokeshia;
I can’t find a website for Houston, Texas-based SK Distillers–I guess you’ll just have to keep an eye out for it there in Alabama, or ask your local distributor to see what thay can do for you!
Best,
Dave

John,
Best I can do for you is just what it says in the article: “They are currently available in 14 markets, including Washington D.C., Florida, Maryland, Virginia, Colorado, New York, New Mexico, Ohio, South Carolina, Nevada, Illinois, California and Texas.”
Good luck and thanks for your note :)
