For Roberto Real, tequila is an investigation of memory. As a fourth-generation tequilero in Amatitán, his work is a rigorous excavation of the liquid left behind by his bisabuela in the 1940s—a pre-industrial profile passed through grandfather and father, now recovered from the Luvisol soil.
Arriesgado is the tension of that recovery. In a market built on industrial acceleration, choosing the slow, high-risk methods of the past is not a romantic gesture; it is a deliberate refusal to let the original profile of the valley disappear. Limiting production to micro-batches is the only way to sustain the precision of this sensory reconstruction.

Roberto is a leading voice for authenticity in the tequila community, often limiting production to as few as 2,000 bottles a year. Each bottle is a hand-crafted testament to four generations of family pride, a rare, soulful tribute to the artisans who came before him and the father who inspired it all.

tequila
ancestral

Our process is defined by pure manual labor, where the hands of our masters replace machinery to breathe life into a spirit with a soul.

By using only wooden tools and techniques that have remained virtually unchanged for generations, we preserve the most honest and primitive way of crafting this drink.

We don't just produce a distillate; we guard a heritage that can be felt in every tasting note

Origin

We believe in returning to what was lost. In blending what we’ve learned with what time left behind. In following the curiosity that leads us toward that ancient flavor, even if we don’t know where it ends. We’re driven to explore slowly, to listen to the agave’s story, and to take risks, because only those who search deeply can recover what truly matters: tequila as it once was.

Process

Master Craftsmanship; Made by hands, not processes. Each bottle is the result of true physical labor; a limited production where
"fire and sweat" set the pace.

We believe in returning to what was lost. In blending what we’ve learned with what time left behind.

jima

Expert hands harvest the blue agave with ancestral precision, stripping away the sharp leaves to reveal the heart of the earth.

STONE-COOCKED

The agave hearts are slow baked in stone and clay ovens, reclaiming the earth’s purest flavor.

ANCESTRAL CRUSHING

We crush the agave by hand, blow by blow, using wooden mallets and "canoa" troughs. No machines

LIVING FERMENTATION

We let nature take its course in French oak vats, achieving a complex and elegant flavor profile.

DISTILLATION

We crush the agave by hand, blow by blow, using wooden mallets and "canoa" troughs. No machinesonly soul.

AGIN

Like a true Tequila Añejo, it matures in oak or holm oak barrels, developing its characteristic amber hue and complex flavor notes.

THE ANCESTRAL REBELLION
CRAFTING THE IMPOSSIBLE
