OUR MASTER DISTILLERS
Ricardo Gamarra Master Blender
Learning how to make tequila the hard way and coming, up with a few innovations of his own, Ricardo has managed to not only earn The respect of the Mexican CRT (Tequila Regulatory Council), but also the spirits critics, and the harshest critics of all, the customers. His first effort, AsomBroso Extra Afiejo, won the prestigious ROBB Report magazine’s highest praise with the “Best of the Best” tequila. He has subsequently garnered more critical acclaim and honors, culminating with his recent wins at the prestigious 2024 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, where his brands scored Gold and Double Gold medals, as well as winning the highest honor of TOP TEQUILA in the world for his Additive-Free El Platino (silver).
Zandra Gomez Master Distiller
Master Distiller Zandra Gomez, named Best Woman Distiller 2024, rounds out the AsomBroso team with over 20 years of industry experience, holding the elite title of Master Distiller for 18 years. Throughout each step of the cultivation, harvest, cooking, fermentation, distillation, and bottling process, AsomBroso Tequila employs a small-batch production method. The company’s social commitment to the region and its people has led to the development of modern systems, including waste treatment, which allows them to create their own organic fertilizer. This puts them at the forefront of companies committed to the environment.
