About the Additive-Free Program
In 2020 we launched our Tequila Matchmaker Additive-Free program for brands and distilleries that want to be fully transparent about their production process and non-use of additives. It is an opt-in program, renewed each year.
Inspections are done on-site and can last from a few hours to several days, depending on how many brands and products are being reviewed at the distillery. In addition to auditing the production, we ask detailed questions and perform sensorial analysis throughout various stages of the tequila-making process.

This list is updated each time a brand is added or removed from the program. Subscribe below to receive email alerts whenever the list changes.
