Q. Who Was Don Modesto?
A.Don Modesto Toro Anaya was a well respected man who was born and raised in a ranch called, Tototlán Del Oro in the state of Jalisco. There, he raised cattle and grew several types of agave; one of those is the Weber Blue Agave which is used as the source of pure tequila. For several years, he and his associates produced tequila and sold it locally in towns near his ranch. Upon his passing last year, the Toro Family inherited his land, cattle and his unique process for producing high quality tequila.

Q. Where Is Tequila Don Modesto Made?
A. The agave used for Tequila Don Modesto is grown in the fields of Amatitán, Jalisco where they are grown organically without modern chemicals. The agave is grown to maturity for about 8-10 years, and then it is taken to an organic factory called Tequilera Rivesca. In Tequilera Rivesca, they distill the tequila and process it through a unique system known as “la tirade de la cabeza y cola” which means the removal of the ‘head’ and the ‘tail’. The ‘head’ contains a volume of Ethyl Alcohol, which is the agent in fermented and distilled liquors. The valve is open to dispense the Ethyl Alcohol and any other gases used for the fermentation process. Then, they remove the ‘tail’ which is diluted tequila left towards the very end of the distillation process. The result, unique tequila not yet introduced into the market.
