The List: Additive-Free Tequila Brands
Disclaimer: The topic of additive-free tequila is complex and often controversial. Currently, the Consejo Regulador del Tequila (CRT), the official regulatory body for tequila, has not partnered with or recognized any third-party certifiers, such as Tequila Matchmaker, despite their efforts to promote transparency in the industry. As a result, additive-free tequila is not clearly differentiated on shelves, labels, or websites, making it challenging for consumers to identify these products.
This situation is highly political, and the industry is still navigating whether official additive-free certifications will be introduced. Until that time, the list of tequilas provided here reflects the most accurate information available based on recent certification efforts. We update this list to the best of our ability using reliable sources, but it is subject to change as new developments emerge.
Please note: We do not certify or claim to represent any certifying agencies, distilleries, or brands. Our goal is to foster transparency within the tequila industry and provide consumers with the tools and information needed to make informed decisions about the products they enjoy. For further insights, we recommend consulting trusted sources, including Tequila Matchmaker.
