From Baja Racing to Blue Agave: The Story Behind Billy’s Tequila

From Baja Racing to Blue Agave

The Story Behind Billy’s Tequila

Under Mexico’s blazing sun, a race truck buried to its axles in Baja’s silt sparked a tequila story worth sharing. What began as off-road grit and neighborly rescue grew into a celebration of tradition, craftsmanship, and 100% Blue Weber agave from the Highlands of Jalisco—premium, additive-free tequila made for people who live the sunlit life.

 

Baja beginnings: a race, a rescue, a recipe

When our driver hit a blind corner and sank wheels-deep, the crew spent hours digging to break free. As dusk hit the horizon, locals rolled in to help. After the truck finally roared back to life, we followed our new friends to their village—where the smoothest tequila flowed and a century-old family recipe was passed down with pride. That moment stitched adventure to heritage and set the course for Billy’s Tequila.

From desert grit to Highland agave

We took that spirit north to the red-soiled Highlands of Jalisco, where high altitude, intense sun, and cool nights ripen Blue Weber agave for bright, expressive flavor. From field to bottle, our focus is clarity, character, and elegance—an additive-free approach that lets agave speak for itself.

 

Crafted the way tequila should be

Great tequila is equal parts tradition and technique. From careful cooking and clean fermentations to precise distillation and polishing filtration, each step preserves agave’s natural aromatics while refining texture and finish. If you love the “why” behind what you’re tasting, take a deeper dive into the science of fermentation, distillation, esters, and aging here.

Two expressions. One adventure.

Billy’s Blanco Tequila

Crisp, vibrant, and agave-forward—the perfect Blanco for margaritas, palomas, ranch water, or a simple sip over ice. Expect lifted citrus, a softer agave note, and just a touch of spice that plays beautifully in cocktails or stands clean on its own.
