Los 7 Ángeles (L7A) crafts a Cristalino extra-añejo using 100% Blue Weber agave from the highlands of Jalisco. Agaves are aged approximately 7 years, roasted for 48 hours in masonry ovens, fermented with special yeast for 96 hours, and double-distilled.
~7 years of growth in Jalisco highlands
48 hours in traditional masonry ovens
96 hours with special yeast strains
Double-distilled for purity
60 months in American white-oak barrels
Charcoal filtration for crystal clarity
The result: a smooth, crystal-clear tequila with notes of cooked agave, caramel, vanilla, and citrus. This partnership supplies Boukét with an authentic, ultra-premium liquid foundation.
There is minimal representation of BIPOC-owned premium tequila brands in the ultra-premium segment. Most brands skew masculine or celebrity-driven.
Boukét can offer intentional, culturally rooted authenticity for design-minded consumers seeking more than celebrity endorsements.
The market lacks a brand that authentically bridge New York cultural heritage with Jalisco craftsmanship through sophisticated design and storytelling.
Growing demand for premium products that align with values of sustainability, inclusivity, and mindful consumption.

Tequila's appeal spans a diverse consumer base, from affluent connoisseurs to younger, trend-conscious adults, creating a bifurcated market.
Predominantly affluent men (40-59) with HHI > $170k, concentrated in 20 U.S. states. They favor reposado, unmixed, and additive-free expressions, treating tequila collecting as a serious hobby.
Overall market growth is driven by younger adults (21-34, Millennials/
Gen Z). Over 54% prefer premium tequila, and 60%+ of 2022 U.S. spirits revenue came from high-end bottles. These consumers value authenticity, craft, and transparency, willing to pay for additive-free options.
Boukét can target high-income connoisseurs who appreciate aged, additive-free tequila ($100+ bottles) while also appealing to aspirational Millennials/Gen Z who value authenticity and sustainability, driving volume growth in premium spirits.
The broader premiumization trend among younger adults means marketing should also speak to the aspirational Millennials/Gen Z, they may not yet have six‑figure incomes but still buy premium spirits.
Bottles above $100 saw ~20% volume decline during inflationary pressures. Mitigation: Justify pricing through compelling storytelling and exceptional quality. Leverage RTD Spritzer product to diversify.
Celebrity and heritage brands dominate shelf space. Mitigation: Differentiate through minority ownership, sophisticated design, and authentic narrative.
Cannabis origin may challenge traditional spirits channels. Mitigation: Segmented strategy, lead with L7A partnership and 60-month aging in B2B; activate "shared ritual" lifestyle in B2C.
