In the year 1761 the Camarena family co-founded the town of Arandas in Los Altos region of Jalisco; this family was the first to plant blue agave in the region of Arandas and to mark forever the history of this region.

One hundred years later, in 1861, Pedro Camarena Ramírez was born, founder of the first tequila distillery in Arandas and father of a lineage of renowned tequila producers.

His distillery was burned down during the Mexican Revolution and all that remains is the Tahona stone that stands proudly at El Pandillo Distillery.

Primo 1861 is a tribute to his legacy...
