Riazul Premium Tequila, purveyor of the top rated Añejo Tequila, according to Tequila.net, has expanded it’s distribution reach and is now available in nine states and is being distributed internationally in three major markets. The premium sipping tequila can be enjoyed by consumers in Arizona, California, Illinois, Missouri, Nevada, New York, Tennessee, Texas, Hong Kong, Mexico, the Philippines and the brand’s new market, Massachusetts.
“We are more than pleased that customers in Massachusetts will now be able to experience Riazul. We’re confident that our young brand will continue on the fast pace of expansion we’ve been seeing, and we think that that our niche positioning will enable us to do so,” offered Inaki Orozco, President of Riazul Tequila.
Riazul is available in three different expressions of tequila, all made from 100 percent blue agave: Riazul Blanco, Riazul Reposado and the top-rated Riazul Añejo. Still a newcomer, the brand has quickly gained a reputation for its premium quality and is appealing to tequila aficionados and novices alike.
“The agave used for Riazul is processed and harvested in the highlands of Western Mexico, which are defined by their cool climate, high elevation and red volcanic soil, or “tierra roja,” rich in mineral content. Orozco’s 250 acres of agave fields have been handed down for generations since the Mexican War of Independence. Steeped in tradition, Riazul Premium Tequila is carving out its niche as an authentic sipping delicacy.
