FAQs
Where is Inspiro Tequila produced?
We proudly handcraft Inspiro Tequila at Tequilera Tap, S. De R.L. De C.V. (NOM 1614) in the picturesque town of Amatitán, Jalisco, Mexico.
Who is Inspiro Tequila’s master distiller?
It takes an experienced hand to craft a tequila this smooth and approachable. That is why we are honored that the recipe and process for Inspiro Tequila was created by the legendary Ana María Romera Mena, one of the very few female maestra tequileras in Mexico.
Where do you source your agave for Inspiro Tequila?
Our master distiller Ana María hand-selects only the highest-quality 100% Blue Weber Agave from the Tequila Valley in Jalisco, Mexico. During the harvest, the leaves of the agave plants used to create Inspiro are cut very close to the piña, to eliminate any bitter taste in the final product.
What methods do you use in your production process?
The high-quality agave we select for Inspiro Tequila is cooked in an autoclave for 12 hours (never with a diffusor), and the juices are extracted using a roller mill. We then ferment in stainless steel tanks and twice distill in stainless pot stills with a copper coil.
What does “Luna Blanco” mean?
Inspiro Tequila was born from a spirit of innovation, to redefine what it means to enjoy tequila. To craft the unique taste of Inspiro Tequila Luna Blanco, we rest our tequila in used American oak barrels for a lunar quarter to create our extraordinarily smooth flavor and mouthfeel.
What is the difference between a blanco and a reposado tequila?
By Mexican regulation, a “blanco” tequila cannot be aged for more than two months, and a “reposado” tequila can only be barrel aged between 2-11 months. Inspiro Tequila Luna Blanco is rested for short period of time in American oak barrels to create our signature smooth flavor.
Is Inspiro Tequila gluten-free?
Made from only 100% Blue Weber Agave, and never any additives, yes, Inspiro Tequila is 100% gluten free.
Is Inspiro Tequila Kosher?
Yes. After a comprehensive inspection and review of our distillery and production process, Inspiro Tequila has been certified Kosher by Jay-Kosher, under the direction of Rabbi Abraham Srugo, the distinguished rabbinical leader of the Jewish community in Guadalajara, Mexico.
How many calories are in Inspiro Tequila?
Inspiro Tequila is only 64 calories per ounce. Many other tequila brands use additives to enhance their color or flavor, we do not, and that is why our tequila is low in calories.
How many grams of fat, sodium, carbohydrates, and sugar are in Inspiro?
That’s an easy one. Zero, zero, zero, and zero.
A lot of tequilas use additives, does Inspiro?
No. As a matter of fact, when our founder Mara first met our master distiller Ana María, the #1 thing she told her was that she didn’t want any additives in Inspiro. Inspiro Tequila has been Confirmed Additive-Free by the respected tequila experts at Tequila Matchmaker.

Is Inspiro Tequila keto-friendly?
Yes. Inspiro Tequila contains zero carbs so it is generally considered keto-friendly.
Is Inspiro Tequila organic?
We use organic agave to produce our 100% agave Inspiro Tequila.
Are you coming out with other Inspiro tequilas?

Who owns Inspiro Tequila?
Inspiro Tequilas is owned by Mara Smith who created the brand in 2020 with a goal not just to create a one-of-a-kind tequila, but also to make women feel seen and relevant in industries where they have long been underrepresented. Mara is not the only woman involved in Inspiro, women are part of every aspect of our brand, from production in Mexico to getting bottles on the shelves.
Inspiro Tequila is female-owned, is it WBENC certified?
Yes, Inspiro Tequila is proudly WBENC-certified. WBENC certification is the most widely recognized and respected national certification for women-owned businesses in the U.S., and we are incredibly proud to be among this group of distinguished companies.
How do you recommend I drink Inspiro Tequila?
There is no right or wrong way to enjoy Inspiro Tequila! We meticulously crafted our tequila to be very versatile. It will elevate your cocktail, and it is smooth enough to sip on its own. (Pro tip, our founder Mara Smith prefers her Inspiro Tequila on the rocks mixed with a little soda.)
What does the word “Inspiro” mean?
The word “Inspiro” is Spanish for “inspire.” Our founder Mara Smith credits her mother and grandmother – both strong women in her life – for her drive to succeed. They are her role models and her inspirations, and they instilled in her the belief that she could do anything if she worked hard enough.
