One day, just for fun, we put some rye whiskey into barrels originally used to age wine. When we mixed the 'vermouth-ed' (Vya, Madera, CA) and the 'syrah-ed' (Qupé, Santa Maria, CA) we discovered an all-natural, not disgustingly sweet whiskey for the rest of us.

Where did "Yippee Ki-Yay" come from? Is it a real expression of joy popular with cowboys in the 19th century Western United States? Is it part of the greatest one liner in movie history? Was it influenced by the phrase 'Yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay' from the 1936 hit song "I'm an Old Cow Hand from the Rio Grande" about a 20th-century cowboy who has little in common with cowpunchers of old and sung by Bing Crosby in the film "Rhythm on the Range" (also sung later by Roy Rogers and Frank Sinatra) and considered one of the Top 100 Western songs of all time? We're not sure. But we are sure we like how we feel when we say it... and recommend you use it every chance you get.

We confess...we didn't coin the term "Yippee Ki-Yay". Moreover, we didn't paint the picture on the front label. It's an historic poster (Gift of The Coe Foundation and Henry B. Balink) now at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West in Cody, Wyoming (centerofthewest.org, you really ought to visit). Furthermore, we didn't distill the whiskeys in this bottle - it's our Double Rye! However, we did come up with a combination that we think will make you say...Yippee Ki-Yay drinkers of horrible tasting cheap flavored uisge beatha! One day, just for fun, we put Double Rye! into oak barrels that had originally been used to age two different types of wine and discovered an all-natural, not disgustingly-sweet sipper for the rest of us.

Back in the mid 1990’s tequila was finding its way through a more discerning public; its fresh and flavorful personality was increasingly captivating sophisticated, well-educated consumers that found in this spirit an interesting alternative to their usual drinks. Tequila, however, was not evolving as fast as its audience was. The quality of most tequilas in the market was, at the most, good enough to qualify for international standards, yet terribly far from what it could achieve when made with real passion and a deep knowledge of agave and tequila. Juan Carlos Arav, founder and president of Tequila REVOLUCION, noticing the crave of the market for a really premium, world-class tequila, decided to craft a product that would pay a dignifying homage to the agave plant and to the tradition and legend that surrounds this historical spirit, a liquid that can be aged as long as desired while still preserving the flavor and personality of the Blue Tequilana Webber Agave. In 1995, Tequila REVOLUCION Reposado was launched: a distillate that combined ancient production techniques with an unparalleled compromise towards perfection; Juan Carlos, decided to make a long-lasting difference in the tequila world, included a series of improvements in the process that only a man with a true passion for tequila could conceive. From planting and caring our own agave plants, to only using barrels that have contained tequila for at least 20 years, Tequila REVOLUCION has set a new standard on what premium tequila should be. Later on, the rest of the REVOLUCION line came to light: Silver, Añejo, 100 Proof and Extra Añejo, each one performing outstandingly in international competitions, and immediately winning the hearts of tequila aficionados and connoisseurs.
