Arette's Artesanal line employs traditional production methods at El Llano Distillery (NOM 1109) in the town of Tequila, Jalisco. Estate-grown Blue Weber agave piñas are slow-roasted for 48 hours in stone and brick ovens, then milled using a roller mill. Natural spontaneous fermentation takes place in open-air concrete tanks using native house yeast. The fermented wort is double-distilled in copper-coil pot stills. The 'Fuerte 101' is the high-strength expression within the Artesanal Suave range, bottled at 50.5% ABV (101 US proof) — preserving greater aromatic intensity and the full character of the estate agave and traditional Tequila Valley production methods. Unaged; produced as an expression of pure distillate character.

Arette Tequila is crafted at the historic El Llano Distillery in the town of Tequila, Jalisco — the Tequila Valley lowland region where the spirit and its NOM appellation originate. El Llano was founded in 1900 and has been operated by the Orendain family for five generations, making Arette one of only four founding tequila families still operating independently. The brand was launched in 1986 and named after 'Arete', the horse that won back-to-back Olympic gold medals for Mexico in show jumping at the 1948 London Games. The distillery (NOM 1109) uses 100% estate-grown agave harvested at 8–10 years maturity from fields on the outskirts of the town of Tequila.
