Named after the constellation of the flying fish, Volans Tequila has truly found its place amongst the stars in the world of Tequila, and in the Sip Tequila portfolio.  Volans is made at the El Pandillo Distillery in Jesus Maria, Jalisco by Master Distiller Felipe Camarena using highland agave from the local areas of Los Altos, grown at 6,800 feet in altitude. Important to the flavor and methodology in making Volans is the water source used in the process.  El Pandillo harvests rainwater, in addition to sourcing water from a deep well, and local natural spring.
