What kind of tequila is Davo?
Davo is a small-batch, artisanal, premium sipping tequila. Born in Santa Barbara. Produced with love and care at Hacienda Capellanía, NOM 1545, in the Highlands of Jalisco. Davo is single-source, estate-grown agave, refined with a natural, open-air fermentation process, and master distilled by the Dávalos brothers. There are four flavor expressions, and our flagship product is the Almond Añejo.
How long is each expression aged?
The Blanco is unaged, so the agave speaks first. The Reposado rests 8 months in American White Oak. The Añejo with Natural Almond, our flagship, spends 12 to 15 months in American White Oak plus 3 to 12 months of almond maceration. The Extra Añejo rests 4 years, 7 months.
Meet the four expressionsWhat is the Añejo with Natural Almond?
Our flagship: 100% agave with all-natural almond flavor. It is highly anticipated by the palate as it reveals a delicious almond and citric taste followed by an oily and silky sweet agave, tobacco and cacao finish.

Read the Davo StoryWhat does the dove on the bottle mean?
Asunción is the Spanish word for ascending. The ascending dove is a symbol of Dave’s enduring spirit, drawn with tail feathers as agave leaves and embossed into the glass of every expression.
Who makes Davo?
Davo is grown, distilled and bottled at Hacienda Capellanía in San José de Gracia, in the Altos Sur highlands of Jalisco. The Contreras family owns and runs the estate, and the distilling is the Dávalos brothers’ work. Davo credits them as equals.
Team & PartnersWhat does “We Drink to Remember”™ mean?
Davo tequila was inspired by the desire to connect with those we love and honor those who have ascended. Every pour is a toast to the people we love and the memories we keep.
