Distillery Information
Rancho El Carrizal was nicknamed La Langacha (the strip) by Don Felipe Camarena because the parcel is long and thin. He joked that it could be jumped over. It is 2 miles west of the town of Arandas in the Golden Triangle or Grand Cru of agave growing. It is a 4.5 acre ranch surrounded by pines and elms. At 1,978 meters altitude it has the typical red-oxide soil characteristic of the Highlands of Jalisco
