Eastside Distilling and Azuñia Tequila

In September 2019, Portland-based Eastside Distilling made its first foray into Tequila with the acquisition of Azuñia in a deal worth approximately US$14.7m.

Prior to Eastside’s acquisition, Azuñia was owned by Intersect Beverage.

Azuñia produces Blanco Organic Tequila, Reposado Organic Tequila, Añejo Tequila, and Azuñia Black Tequila from 100% Blue Weber agave in Mexico.

The brand’s 12-month sales to June 2019 were valued at US$3.5m, an increase of 37% compared to the same period the previous year.
