Suavecito Tequila’s Zandra Gómez Santiago Recognized as ‘2024 Best Woman Distiller’

DENVER, CO - July 2024 - Suavecito Tequila is proud to announce that Chief Distiller Zandra Gómez Santiago has been named the ‘2024 Best Woman Distiller’ by the Women’s International Wine & Spirits Competition. While the competition is in its 17th year, the prestigious organization just recently added a spirits category to its lineup and Santiago is among the first to be recognized. Santiago’s acknowledgment is celebrated alongside Suavecito Tequila's newest Cristalino expression, which was named ‘Best Tequila’ in the Women’s International Wine & Spirits tasting competition. 

“We are thrilled for Zandra to be recognized for her hard work and dedication to traditional craftsmanship, which has propelled our brand to become a national distributor of authentic tequila,” says Bill Foss, CEO and co-founder of Suavecito Tequila. “As a family-owned and operated company, we are especially grateful for our partnership with third-generation distillery Destiladora Agave Azul in the heart of San Juanito de Escobedo and the opportunity to work with Zandra and her team who share a passion for unrelenting excellence.”

As Suavecito Tequila’s chief distiller, Santiago oversees and leads the production process for the brand’s five expressions, from cooking the agave to crushing, separating, and fermenting the agave liquid, and barreling the tequila.
