Otaca Tequila is owned by Anthony and Nicole Accetta, a dynamic husband-and-wife duo who reside in the beautiful city of Dana Point. Both Anthony and Nicole share a deep passion for entrepreneurship, artistry, and the pursuit of creating the ultimate sipping tequila.
Anthony and Nicole's journey into the world of tequila ownership began with their shared love for the drink itself. They were inspired by the rich history and tradition of tequila-making in Mexico, and they set out on a mission to create a tequila that would truly stand out from the rest.
Their quest for the perfect tequila led them to search for the finest ingredients and the most skilled artisans. They traveled extensively throughout Mexico, immersing themselves in the culture and learning from the experts in the field. They visited countless distilleries and tasted a myriad of tequilas, gaining a deep understanding of the craft and the nuances that make each tequila unique.
Through their journey, Anthony and Nicole developed a deep appreciation for the artistry and attention to detail required to create exceptional tequila. They were inspired by the passion and dedication of the tequila makers they met along the way, and they knew they wanted to contribute to this rich tradition.
With this vision in mind, Anthony and Nicole founded Otaca Tequila. They named their brand “Otaca,” which is derived from the ancient Aztec word for “fire.” This name reflects their commitment to crafting tequila that is bold, intense, and full of flavor.
To bring their vision to life, Anthony and Nicole meticulously sourced the finest blue agave plants from the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. They carefully selected agave that had been nurtured for at least eight years, ensuring the highest quality and optimal flavor development.
The next step was finding a master distiller who shared their passion and commitment to excellence. After an extensive search, they discovered a talented tequila maker who had dedicated his life to perfecting his craft. Working closely with this master distiller, Anthony and Nicole developed a unique distillation process that captures the essence of the agave and creates a tequila that is smooth, complex, and truly unforgettable.
Throughout the entire process, Anthony and Nicole remained deeply involved in every aspect of the business. They personally oversaw the production, ensuring that each bottle of Otaca Tequila met their exacting standards. They were hands-on in every step, from selecting the agave to designing the label, and their attention to detail is evident in the final product.
As owners of Otaca Tequila, Anthony and Nicole are not only passionate about creating exceptional tequila, but also about sharing their love for the spirit with others. They believe that tequila is more than just a drink – it's an experience, a celebration of life and all its joys. Their hope is that each sip of Otaca Tequila will transport the drinker to the sun-drenched fields of Jalisco, where the agave plants grow and the tequila magic happens.
Otaca Tequila is owned by Anthony and Nicole Accetta, who have poured their hearts and souls into creating a tequila that is truly exceptional. Their dedication to craftsmanship, their commitment to quality, and their unwavering passion for tequila set them apart as owners and make Otaca Tequila a brand to be savored and celebrated.
