PABLO ANTINORI

Every step, we’re there. Pablo Antinori, our Director of Agave Spirits, splits his time between our Dallas headquarters and our distillery in Jalisco.

Born in Argentina and raised partly in Bolivia, Pablo comes from a family of restaurateurs. “Flavor’s always been a part of my life,” says Pablo. Early in his career, he apprenticed as a winemaker in Tuscany before entering the spirits industry, where he became the in-house tequila expert at one of the country’s largest drinks distribution companies.

Whether he is inspecting agave fields, tasting cooked piñas from the ovens, or sipping tequila straight off the still, Pablo personally oversees every step of production. Driven by obsessive attention to detail, he has a deep respect for agave-forward flavor. Pablo tastes each batch before bottling, because what you put into the process shows up in the glass. “If it’s not right,” he says, “we don’t bottle it.”
