With so many tequila brands available today, choosing a high-quality one can feel overwhelming. Here are seven rules experts follow when selecting a great tequila—showcased through León Y Sol's premium production.

Rule 1: Always choose 100% Blue Weber Agave
Avoid “mixto” tequila. León Y Sol uses only 100% blue agave.

Rule 2: Look for highland agave
Agave from Los Altos de Jalisco tends to be sweeter and more aromatic.

Rule 3: Avoid additives
Premium tequila should be clean and naturally flavorful.

Rule 4: Check the NOM
This number verifies the distillery and authenticity.

Rule 5: Choose based on use

• Blanco for cocktails
  

• Reposado for sipping or elevated drinks
  
  

Rule 6: Aroma matters
Quality tequila smells fresh, never artificial.

Rule 7: Flavor should be balanced
Smooth agave, light spice, gentle sweetness—exactly what León Y Sol delivers.

Great tequila is about craftsmanship, purity, and agave quality. Once you know what to look for, the difference becomes obvious.
