Highland Agave, Triple-Filtered Clean
Goza — Spanish for "enjoy" — was founded in Atlanta in 2015 by Jacob Gluck and Adam Hirsch as the city's first tequila company, and has been owned since 2023 by whiskey veterans Paul Hletko (FEW Spirits) and Dave Schmier (Proof & Wood). The blanco is the purest expression of the program: estate agave from the Highlands of Jalisco, where altitude builds the fruity sweetness the region is known for, double distilled in small batches and triple filtered for a clean, polished profile. Additive-free, bottled at full 80 proof.
Tasting Notes
The aroma is sweet with a hint of mint — a classic Highland marker. The palate brings vanilla, tropical fruit, and clean agave sweetness (one early profile noted floral, fruity notes with hints of vanilla). Crisp and approachable, with the Highland fruit doing the talking.
How to Enjoy
Neat or over ice to catch the mint and tropical fruit, or as the base of a top-shelf margarita — the triple-filtered profile mixes exceptionally clean. It is a strong all-rounder in the tequila aisle; the GOZA Tequila Reposado shows what six months in white oak whiskey barrels does to the same spirit.
