Mijenta

Mijenta is a small‑batch tequila project that focuses on highland Blue Weber agave, sustainable sourcing, and a clear sense of place.

Mijenta Tequila highlights careful distillation and a tasting‑led approach under Maestra Tequilera Ana María Romero, who shaped the house style and aroma map used in production. Mijenta aims to balance tradition and modern technique, so its expressions work neat, on the rocks, or in refined cocktails. 

Bottles are made to show where the agave comes from and how careful craft changes a spirit. The bottles are approachable for a first purchase and interesting enough for people who already taste tequilas side by side.

Notable Bottles From Mijenta Tequila

Mijenta Reposado Tequila 

This Tequila is a great first bottle if you want a tequila that shows both agave and light oak. It spends time in barrels long enough to gain vanilla and soft spice while keeping the cooked agave character clear. The result is a smooth, versatile spirit that works in an elevated Paloma or neat over a single large ice cube. Pick the Reposado to learn how short aging changes texture without hiding origin.

Mijenta Tequila Reposado Symphony Series No. 2 

The Symphony Series explores barrel design and terroir by using specially built staves and selected casks to shape flavor. This limited release is blended from distinct lots to highlight complexity and balance, so it’s a good step up for people who want to hear how cask choice alters a reposado profile. It’s also a useful bottle for tasting flights because it shows deliberate, technical finishing rather than random oak influence. Choose a Symphony release when you want to study barrel impact.

Mijenta Añejo Tequila 

Mijenta Añejo expressions spend longer in oak and bring richer notes (think dried fruit, toasted spice, and a rounder mouthfeel) - while still carrying the agave backbone. Mijenta’s Añejo is aimed at slow sipping and pairs well with simple desserts or a quiet moment. If you’re moving from mixing to tasting, this bottle shows how time in wood deepens and smooths the spirit. Añejo tequila is the natural next step after Reposado.

Mijenta Cristalino

The Cristalino category filters aged tequila to a clear finish while keeping aged flavor, and Mijenta’s Cristalino uses Symphony‑style maturation to deliver aged complexity in a clear spirit. It drinks like an aged tequila but looks like a blanco, which makes it useful in cocktails that need clarity without losing depth. 

Awards and Recognition

Altos Planos, the producer of Mijenta Tequila, won the ‘Outstanding Spirits Producer’ and ‘Agave Producer of the Year’ Trophies at IWSC Awards 2023. Good makers make good bottles. Simple as that.
