100% Agave tequila, from the highlands of Jalisco
Libélula tequila
In May 2016, the CNI Brands team visited Mexico with one goal; create the best possible tequila for a Combier margarita.
After visiting several distilleries, blending many samples, and shaking (and tasting) about 80 margaritas, they created our portfolio’s first custom tequila, specifically calibrated to not only be great for sips and shots, but perfect for the best margaritas calling for Combier.
Produced by Destilladora Bonanza (NOM 1604) and located on the same estate as historic Casa San Matias (NOM 1103), Libélula Tequila is propelled by the creativity of the youngest generation, Jesús, Juan Pablo and Rodrigo López and anchored by matriarch Carmen Villarreal Trevino. Together, they combine the best of tradition and ingenuity to create a beautifully balanced spirit.

libélula joven
libélula joven is made from 100% blue agave harvested just steps from our small distillery. The golden color of our tequila comes from aging, adding depth to this vibrant spirit.
Our blanco honors the natural flavors of the agave, with citrus and grassy aromas, while the oak-aged reposado adds layers of vanilla and spice. Blended together they create a harmony that transcends tequila as we know it.

libélula reposado
Our reposado embodies the balance which has delighted Libélula drinkers for years.
The Destiladora Bonanza master distiller scoured the aging room in Ojo de Agua to carefully choose the perfect barrels so she could bring libélula’s reposado to life. Using a selection of tequila rested for 8 months in American oak bourbon barrels, the resulting golden liquid embraces the mystical side of the dragonfly. Dancing gracefully between agave and wood, our reposado is light in body and soft on the palate, with flavors of vanilla, cocoa, ground clove, and ripe red berries.
