Question 1

What makes NOM 1675 (Casa Tequilera Joselito) significant?

Accepted Answer

NOM 1675 is one of the few distilleries operating in the Ciénega corridor along the southern shore of Lake Chapala — a microclimate that produces agave with a distinctly mineral, lake-influenced terroir unlike either the highlands or the classic lowland valley. Casa Tequilera Joselito has quietly built a reputation for small-batch production that honors traditional tahona methods while remaining commercially accessible.

Question 2

What is notable about Casa Tequilera Joselito?

Accepted Answer

Tizapán el Alto sits at roughly 1,500 meters elevation on the volcanic southern shore of Lake Chapala — making NOM 1675 agave among the highest-altitude "lowland" agave in Jalisco, producing a flavor profile that bridges highland minerality with lowland earthiness.

Question 3

Can I visit NOM 1675 distillery?

Accepted Answer

Tizapán el Alto is approximately 90 minutes southeast of Guadalajara via the Chapala highway. The town sits directly on the lake and offers a quieter alternative to the tourist-heavy Chapala–Ajijic corridor. Contact the distillery in advance — Casa Tequilera Joselito is a working production facility and visits are by appointment.
