Cindy and Philipp on their wedding night in Mexico
Our Story

Born from a wedding night in Mexico

ACEVES began with one unforgettable celebration – and became our way of sharing Mexico with the world.

Follow our journey

Surrounded by family, music, food and Cindy’s family tequila, we experienced what tequila truly means in Mexican culture.

Not a quick shot, but a symbol of celebration, connection and heritage. That moment became the beginning of ACEVES.

Where the story began

More than a drink

On our wedding night in Mexico, tequila was more than a drink. It was part of the celebration, part of the family, and part of the moment.

We were drinking tequila connected to Cindy’s family – a taste that carried memory, tradition and emotion. That night, we realised that this feeling deserved to be shared beyond Mexico.

ACEVES was born from that idea: to bring the warmth of Mexican celebration and the elegance of premium tequila to Europe.

That night, tequila became more than a drink. It became our story.

A taste of home

For Cindy, tequila is family

For Cindy, tequila is not just a spirit. It is a family connection – the taste of celebrations at home, of the people she loves and of the highlands she comes from.

Living in Germany, far away from Mexico, one glass brings all of it back. ACEVES is her way of sharing her culture and her family with the people around her here – one slow, honest sip at a time.

Every bottle carries her family’s name: Familia Aceves.

Years of creating our profile

Five years of refining our family profile

For more than five years, we worked on developing our own personal family flavour profile. The goal was never to create just another tequila. We wanted a smooth, elegant Reposado that stayed true to Mexican tradition while offering a refined sipping experience for Europe.

Every decision was intentional: the aroma, the balance, the softness, the finish – and the way the tequila feels when shared with others.

ACEVES is the result of patience, tasting, learning and staying close to our roots. A flavour profile shaped by family, memory and time.

From Arandas to Germany

The journey of a bottle

From a family celebration in Mexico to a glass in Germany – this is how ACEVES found its way to you.

The beginning

A wedding night in Mexico

Cindy’s family tequila is poured for the guests – and a Mexican-German family discovers what it wants to share.

Our family profile

Batch after batch, we taste, compare and refine – until the Reposado tastes the way it should: smooth, elegant, made for sipping.

A spirit worth protecting

One of the most protected spirits in the world

1974Tequila became Mexico’s first Denomination of Origin – it may only be made in Mexico.
5Mexican states form the protected region: Jalisco and selected areas of Guanajuato, Michoacán, Nayarit and Tamaulipas.
NOMEvery producer is certified and audited by the Tequila Regulatory Council (CRT). Our distillery’s number: NOM 1414.

In Europe, tequila is still too often known as a quick shot with salt and lime. Truly premium, 100% agave sipping tequila remains rare on German shelves.

We believe this is about to change. Just as Europe learned to value a great Cognac or a single malt, it will learn to value tequila – a spirit with centuries of tradition, protected like few others. ACEVES wants to be part of that moment.

Familia Aceves

Made the way you would make it for the people you love

ACEVES is Cindy’s family name. Every bottle of this first edition is hand-numbered and signed – a small piece of our story, ready to become part of yours.
