Rare vs. Allocated vs. Limited Edition: What's the Difference?
These words get thrown around loosely in the spirits world, but they don't mean the same thing:
- Allocated tequila — a recurring release with a permanently capped annual supply. The distillery makes it every year, but never enough to meet demand.
- Rare tequila — low production volume by nature, often from small-batch or artisanal producers, not necessarily tied to a yearly release cycle.
- Limited edition tequila — a one-time or seasonal run that won't be repeated once it sells out.
All three types show up in our National Tequila Day collection, and each product page notes which kind of scarcity applies — so you know exactly what you're buying and why it's hard to find.
3 Ways to Celebrate National Tequila Day 2026
- Do a flight, not just a shot. Line up a blanco, reposado, and añejo from the same brand (Tequila Ocho or Don Fulano both work well) to taste how oak aging changes the agave.
- Make a classic, correctly. A Tommy's Margarita — tequila, fresh lime juice, agave syrup, no triple sec — lets a good blanco actually taste like something.
- Start (or restock) a collection. Vintage-dated and NOM-specific bottles like Fuenteseca or Cava De Oro are easiest to find right after a release — National Tequila Day sales are a good checkpoint to fill gaps.
