Since its launch in 2019, Storywood Tequila has garnered international acclaim from both industry insiders and discerning consumers.

Storywood Founder, Michael Ballantyne says: “Our mission is to bring new flavours to tequila through oak. We work with distilleries, wineries and cooperages from around the world to hunt for the freshest casks. Our oak and flavours are what we love, but it’s the places we go and the people that we meet along the way that become our story. Storywood Tequila is our chapter one, with many more to come. We believe the time is right to bring our range of Storywood Tequilas to UK consumers.”
