About the digest

Heritage, not hype.

The tequila industry produces billions in revenue every year. Most of that money funds marketing, not craft. The Tequila Digest exists to document what actually matters — the 4-digit NOM number on the bottle, the distillery behind it, and the production methods that define its character.

Every issue is grounded in the 24dejulio.com registry — 668 CRT-certified distilleries, documented by classification, region, and production method.
