About the digest

Heritage, not hype.

The tequila industry produces billions in revenue every year. Most of that money funds marketing, not craft. The Tequila Digest exists to document what actually matters — the 4-digit NOM number on the bottle, the distillery behind it, and the production methods that define its character.

Every issue is grounded in the 24dejulio.com registry — 668 CRT-certified distilleries, documented by classification, region, and production method.

1001Industrial

Destilería NOM 1001

Every bottle of authentic tequila produced in Mexico carries a NOM number — a Norma Oficial Mexicana identifier that serves as the industry's foundational accountability mechanism. For NOM 1001, this designation is particularly significant as one of the earliest registry entries in the Consejo Regulador del Tequila's system, signaling a deep-rooted presence within Jalisco's storied tequila landscape. The NOM system was designed to ensure traceability, quality control, and geographic authenticity, guaranteeing that every drop bearing this number originates from a certified, inspected facility operating within the legally defined Denomination of Origin territory. For consumers and collectors alike, the NOM printed on a bottle's label is not merely bureaucratic notation — it is a direct link to a specific distillery, its production philosophy, and its regulatory compliance history. Understanding which NOM produced your tequila empowers informed purchasing decisions, cuts through marketing mystique, and reveals the true origin of spirits that may be sold under dozens of different brand labels. In the case of NOM 1001, its industrial classification indicates a production capacity and operational framework oriented toward consistent, scalable output, a structure that has allowed it to sustain independent production across market fluctuations. Jalisco, the heartland of tequila production, provides this distillery with the volcanic soils, highland climate, and generational agave-farming expertise that define world-class tequila terroir.

Destilería NOM 1002

NOM 1002 represents the industrial backbone of Mexico's tequila production. La Cofradia's designation as an industrial distillery means it processes significant volumes of agave while maintaining strict regulatory compliance. This classification is crucial for understanding tequila's commercial scale—industrial NOMs like 1002 supply bulk spirit to numerous brands, making them essential to the industry's economic viability and global distribution network.

1003Industrial

Destilería NOM 1003

NOM 1003 represents the foundational chapter of the Maestri family's ambitious entry into tequila production, capturing the early architectural blueprints of what would become one of Mexico's most prolific contract distilling operations. Registered under Destiladora del Valle de Tequila, S.A. de C.V. in Tequila, Jalisco, this industrial-classification facility utilized autoclaves and mechanical roller mills before consolidating its operations into the modern active registry NOM 1138. Understanding this predecessor NOM is essential for tracing the full lineage of Casa Maestri's commercial evolution.
