El Arquero isn’t a brand built in a boardroom. It’s the result of a few mates who loved tequila but hated the way it was usually drunk. So we set out to do it differently.
El Arquero is smooth, easy, and made for good times together.
The El*Arquero Spicy Tommy Spritz. All the citrus of a Tommy's, with a little heat that sneaks up on you.
Fresh lime. Spicy Agave. El*Arquero Blanco. Soda.

Keeping it bright with the El*Aquero Paloma.
Effortless, refreshing, and quietly one of the best things you can do with tequila. Crisp citrus, a touch of bitterness, and zero room for shortcuts.

Few people know what Reposado actually means. It means rested.
El*Arquero honours that: five months in ex-bourbon oak, drawing out vanilla, caramel and toasted warmth without losing what makes the agave worth drinking in the first place.
A wooden cork stamped with the sun. A label that earns its colour. Amber-poured, and exactly as considered as it looks.
Here's something you may not know about the Blanco: the agave takes seven years to grow before a single drop is made.
El*Arquero Blanco is made from 100% Blue Weber Agave, harvested only at peak maturity from the highlands of Jalisco.
Unaged. Unfiltered by shortcuts. Exactly as it should be.
Building El*Arquero was never just about creating a tequila. It was about finding the right people to bring it to life.
From Jalisco to Australia, we worked with partners who understood the balance we were chasing. Tradition and craft, paired with a modern, approachable spirit made for how Australians gather and celebrate today.
Thank you to @squad.brandstudio for bringing this vision to life. We’re all in this tequila.
An incredible event celebrating @elarquerotequila with founder Adam Gilchrist at The Normanby.
Terrific company, meets terrific tequila. Thank you to all who attended, and to the brilliant team behind El Arquero.
A little look behind the bottle, sharing some moments from our trip to Jalisco.
El*Arquero was created by Gilly, Mel Gilchrist and a team of mates, then brought to life in Arandas with third-generation distillers. It’s additive-free, 100% Australian-owned and authentically made in Mexico.
Pleased to have @elarquerotequila with us for the launch. Additive-free, beautifully balanced and crafted to be savoured, El*Arquero is all about tequila at its purest.
