Calle 23 Tequila

A French mixologist moved to Mexico and fell in love with a street, an agave, and an idea. Calle 23 is named after the street in Guadalajara where the tequila was first developed, using agave primarily from the highland region of Los Altos. This is tequila made by an outsider who learned the industry from the inside.

  • Calle 23 Blanco Tequila bottle with clear liquid and simple label
    Item no.: 22227865479-19850

    A French chemical engineer fell in love with Mexico and its agave – and created a tequila that lets the fresh, green flavour of the Jalisco highlands speak for itself.

    Expert Description

    Calle 23 Blanco Tequila is a Mexican Blanco Tequila made from 100% agave, bottled at 40%.

    Calle 23 is the work of Sophie Decobecq, a French chemical engineer who moved to Mexico in 1999 and began developing her own brand in 2003. The agave is grown in Los Altos de Jalisco, the highland region between the towns of Tepatitlán and Arandas, and Calle 23 is known for using an unusually high concentration of agave during fermentation, giving its tequilas a fresh, intense agave character. The Blanco rests briefly on stainless steel before bottling, preserving its raw, green agave flavour without any barrel influence.

    Warm, full-bodied agave, with notes of green pepper and tart green apple.

  • Calle 23 Reposado Tequila bottle with light golden liquid
    Item no.: 22227865479-19851

    Eight months in used American bourbon barrels give this highland tequila a touch of caramel and spice, without ever losing its fresh agave character.

    Expert Description

    Calle 23 Reposado Tequila is a Mexican Reposado Tequila made from 100% agave, bottled at 40%.

    Calle 23 was created by French chemical engineer Sophie Decobecq, who moved to Mexico in 1999 and began developing her own tequila brand in 2003. The agave is harvested in Los Altos de Jalisco, the highlands between the towns of Tepatitlán and Arandas, and double-distilled before the Reposado rests for eight months in used American bourbon barrels. The relatively short ageing period is a deliberate choice, giving the tequila a touch of wood and spice without losing the fresh agave character the brand is known for.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Sweet, cooked agave with butterscotch and warm fruit, plus a touch of orange and cinnamon.

    Palate

    Balanced between agave and oak, with notes of creamy vanilla, apple cider and citrus blossom.

    Finish

    Soft and lingering, with caramel and a last touch of vanilla.

    Item no.: 22227865479-19852

About Calle 23 Tequila

Calle 23 is a Mexican tequila made primarily from agave grown in the Los Altos highlands of Jalisco. For newcomers, it's a smooth, fruity introduction to highland-style tequila; for connoisseurs, one of the modern houses that has reinvigorated the tequila category with a more internationally minded, mixology-driven approach to flavor and production.

History & Background

Calle 23 is named after a street in Guadalajara and was created by French mixologist and spirits expert Sophie Decobecq, who moved to Mexico to immerse herself in the craft of tequila-making. With a background in the cocktail world, she brought a bartender's perspective to production, focusing on balance and versatility in drinks. The tequila is distilled from blue Weber agave grown in the Los Altos highlands, where the cooler climate and iron-rich soil produce a sweeter, more fruit-forward agave than lowland regions.

Production & Style

The tequila is distilled from 100% blue Weber agave from Jalisco, grown in different soil types to highlight terroir differences.

Signature Style

Agave-Fresh, Mineral, Clean
The flavor offers a clean, agave-forward character with clear mineral nuances.
