Mijenta, the award-winning and sustainable tequila from the highlands of Jalisco, made its Dubai debut on November 10, 2022, at GILT in Burj Al Arab, overlooking the sparkling lights of “the city of life”. Tequila connoisseurs and aficionados, hospitality-industry experts and nightlife influencers gathered for an evening featuring Mijenta tasting and bespoke mixology, celebrating tequila craftsmanship at its finest with Founder Mike Dolan, Co-Founder & Mixologist Juan Coronado and the Mijenta team.
Guests discovered the additive-free, artisanal tequila’s three high-quality expressions: Mijenta Blanco, Mijenta Reposado and Mijenta Añejo Gran Reserva. With each element of its process carefully calibrated to create Mijenta’s signature aromatic palette, Mijenta’s Maestra Tequilera Ana María Romero uses only the best ingredients and traditional techniques to create a complex but balanced bouquet of fruity and floral flavors with hints of minerality in all three creations.
Driven by its core values of environmental sustainability and giving back to the community, Mijenta has been committed to acting responsibly since its launch. From inception, its operations, procurement practices, sourcing and packaging have been structured to be as environmentally responsible as possible while also delivering benefits to local communities.
