Madrid, Spain on November 7, 2024.- Safeguarding the Appellation of Origin Tequila (AOT), in Mexico and in the world and generating timely and truthful information, are part of the objectives of the Tequila Regulatory Council A.C. (CRT), a work to which establishments have joined not only at the national level but also at the international level, so through the T Distinction certification mark the CRT recognizes all those consumer centers that, after a certification process and training demonstrate the quality of their services regarding Tequila.
At the Casa de México Foundation in Madrid, Spain, led by Director Ximena Caraza and chaired by Don Valentín Diez Morodo, four establishments – “Las Mañanitas,” “Mexcalista,” “Marrufo,” and the mezcaloteca “Corazón Agavero” – received the T Distinction. These establishments not only offer exceptional gastronomic experiences but also serve as true ambassadors for Mexico’s first Appellation of Origin: Tequila.
“By awarding the T Distinction, we celebrate their dedication to ensuring that the Tequila served at their establishments is a certified, authentic product that fully complies with the Official Tequila Standard. This recognition goes beyond a seal of quality. Through the CRT’s training program, their staff has gained a deep and objective understanding of the Tequila Appellation of Origin, encompassing its regulations, history, and the rich cultural heritage surrounding this emblematic Mexican product,” stated Miguel Ángel Domínguez Morales, President of the CRT.

To earn the T Distinction certification, one of the requirements is that the establishment’s staff complete the Professionalization Course in Tequila Culture offered by the CRT. This comprehensive course provides staff with all the necessary information about Tequila, ensuring accurate knowledge and preventing misinformation.
“The T Distinction” that they receive today is a symbol of the constant work they do to bring the true essence of Tequila to their customers, transmitting its history, its values and its importance in Mexican heritage,” said Miguel Ángel Domínguez Morales.
With the presentation of these T Distinctions in Madrid, Spain, the international total reaches 85, while 309 have been awarded domestically. Establishments that have earned this certification mark from the Tequila Regulatory Council are identified by a plaque prominently displayed within the establishment.
