Agave, water, and yeast. Unbelievably, those three ingredients are all you need to make tequilas with an enormous variety of aromas and flavors. That’s because while the ingredients are simple, the process is anything but. If you’ve ever wondered why tequilas smell and taste different from brand to brand, the first thing to consider is where, and how, it was made.
Tequila distilleries can differ from each other in many ways: Geographic location; type of equipment used; time of year they produce; quality of ingredients; and the experience level of the staff, among other factors. All of these variables have an influence on the final product. So we decided to use our database to find out which distilleries are creating tequilas that tend to score highest among users of the Agave Matchmaker app for iPhone and Android.
Here are the Top 10 (as of Jan 5, 2026), based on 433,685 ratings (including 13,755 blind ratings) from 425,517 users:
-
1) NOM 1493 (Tequila Los Abuelos)
2) NOM 1579 (El Pandillo)
3) NOM 1123 (Tequila Cascahuín, S.A.)
4) NOM 1643 (Destileria El Sabino, S.A. de C.V.)
5) NOM 1474 (Cía. Tequilera Los Alambiques, S.A. de C.V.)
6) NOM 1635 (Plantaciones Tequilana, S.P.R. de R.L. de C.V.)
7) NOM 1120 (Tequila Siete Leguas)
8) NOM 1139 (Tequila Tapatio, S.A. de C.V. (La Alteña))
9) NOM 1468 (Grupo Tequilero Mexico, S.A. de C.V.)
10) NOM 1636 (Tequila El Rocio, S.A. de C.V.)
According to the Agave Matchmaker app database, there are currently 214 active tequila distilleries operating in Mexico, all of which are listed and searchable in the app, including the brands that they create.
The Full List
These are the top 152 (of 214) active tequila distilleries, based on ratings in the Agave Matchmaker mobile app.
For a distillery to make the list they must have more than 30 ratings, and have at least 1 brand in active production as of the time of this update (Jan 5, 2026). The average score is calculated using all reviews in our database for products made at the assigned NOM. Keep in mind that distilleries that produce many different brands are being rated based on everything they produce, and not just one popular brand. This means that one low-rated brand can bring down the average for an entire distillery.
These rankings will update quarterly. The next one is scheduled for March 31, 2026.

I would say this rank is not that accurate as some distilleries have as little as 23 ratings and others have +1,400. There should be a way to isolate the effect of the number of ratings each distillery, don’t you think so?
Hi JP – Although the rank is “accurate” based on the data we have available, it is constantly evolving. Before releasing this list we carefully looked at the number of ratings we have for a distillery and didn’t count any that didn’t have more than 20. However, this is still a bit low. Brands like Fortaleza that have a lot of reviews, yet are still in the top 10 are a lot more impressive.
This is why we said that we will be updating this list again in a few months. It will surely change as more ratings are added to our system.
Grover,
I’ve been told by several people that El Caballito Cerrero is currently not producing and hasn’t for awhile, since they were going through there legal issues in regards to their name. If so, I was wondering why they’re on the list? I was also wondering why Don Lorenzo was listed under two distilleries?
Hi Ralph. Don Lorenzo has 2 distilleries in their history, that’s why they show up in 2 places.
El Caballito Cerrero is in active production. I’ve been to the distillery and purchased bottles from them. They do not appear on the CRT list (yet), but that doesn’t mean they aren’t producing.
I am the owner od Destiladora del valle de tequila I see that accordingly to your app we are the last on your list ! This is extrange..we are the most awarded tequila company every single brand that has been developed ( 135 ) brands has and quality award.
I see you rate by brands..couod be in the future that you rate by company successes, will be a good thing.
Our web site is been updating at this time but have aceess to see the old one. Thanks
Hola Celia. Your distillery is not last on the list! We are familiar with many of the brands made at Destiladora del Valle. Looking closer at the brand ratings associated there, I see that the ratings for Sparkle Donkey Silver and Sparkle Donkey Reposado are causing your average score to be lowered.
And let’s not forget Destiladora del Valle bottles some of Costco’s Kirkland brand tequilas, which are pretty darned decent. But for the record, when Sparkle Donkey was introduced in Seattle a couple years back, to a boatload of hype, I ordered a round in a local restaurant. It was so awful I sent it back.
Very interesting and I plan to follow the updates and check with this often. Yes some of my favorites are in the top 10. This is a fantastic idea, and as time goes by and more people explore brands going to new markets, the results will even out and eventually we will have a nice list of excellent distilleries that make fine products that people like. Yes distilleries that make only 1 excellent product like Tequila Los Abuelos or Tequila el Caballito Cerrero, will have an advantage if the product continues to rate highly. A distillery like el Pandillo or La Altena should always do fine, with a number of excellent products. This is very useful- Thanks Grover
Destiladora del valle has won many awards and is rated very high on quality
and i see other companys that have high ratings but the products they have are not good quality and cant compare to the quality of tequilas produced by Casa Maestri / Destiladora del valle
Agreed,
With amazing products like Los Azulejos, Casa Maestri, Skelly and Siempre Tequila – Sparkle Donkey and Kirkland should not outline what the distillery is outputting. From visiting, I know first hand that they have two setups. 1- a beautiful traditional distillery with hornos, open air fermentation tanks and amazing stills 2- a section of the distillery that has the autoclave in order to pay the bills.
There are distilleries above them on the list that only use autoclave, a shame if you ask me.
What an awesome list.. I love a decent Tequila… There is plenty on this list I have never heard of…
It’s great to see that the small, incredible brand, Amorada Tequila, is ranked higher than Casamigos and Avion. I’d say this list is fair.
Los González de Atotonilco Jalisco, pioneros de los buenos Tequilas y hoy Francisco González sigue esa tradición de continuar con pasión la búsqueda de la mejor calidad en los Tequilas de su Casa, La Casa de Los González. Felicidades y muchas gracias por compartirnos el mejor Tequila.
Thanks for the tequila matchmaker app. Never heard of it before and look forward to checking it out!
I have visited San Sebastin tequila distillery in Jalisco very good tequila. Their plata, reposado, and Anejo where all very good
Well I tried and loved the reposada… What I’ll try next is the anejo, can’t wait. There reposada is explosive in taste and super mellow. Spicy and warm. Loved it. Thanks
I trying to get a little info about a bottle of tequila my dad gave me years ago, I still havnt opened it .. casta 1173.. on the underbelly of the worm bottle there is a number written with ink pen -(22,797 )and some initials.. can anyone give me any history on this bottle(the age).. thanks for any help
Why is Porfidio not on list?
NOM 1462.
Is it correct this is a single distillery tequila?
Because that brand is not listed as active by the CRT. In other words, the Mexican government does not currently recognize that brand, or that distillery.

WOW!!!! Cool to see my family distillery at number 2
Tequila las Americas is under rated.
Smoothness flavor and drinkabilty of this hidden gem make it top 10 worthy. Taste it again. You will agree.
Living in Tequila Jalisco I have visited several of the casas that make tequila. With about over
100 in Jalisco the actual fabrication process is really amazing
