Meet the Founder
It started with a passion and a question: Why settle for tequila that burns going down, when it could be smooth, flavorful, and meant to be shared? Savannah-born entrepreneur Earnest Boyd, fueled by this vision, journeyed to the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico, determined to craft a tequila that honored tradition while elevating the experience. Joined by his longtime friend Dale Jones, the two forged a deep connection with Tequilera Rivesca, a family-owned distillery in Amatitán blending old-world methods with modern innovation. Welcomed like family, they worked side by side with master distillers, walking agave fields under bright blue skies, and fine-tuning every detail until Aplomo Tequila was born—a handmade, small-batch tequila designed for savoring moments and making memories. Made with 7–9 year old Weber Blue Agave grown in Jalisco’s iron-rich highlands, Aplomo is crafted using both traditional hornos and innovative autoclaves, double distilled in copper-coil pot stills, and aged in both American and French oak barrels for rich complexity. Every batch is personally taste-tested by Earnest to ensure a silky-smooth finish that’s bold, authentic, and unforgettable. Aplomo Tequila isn’t just a drink—it’s an invitation to slow down, connect, and raise the bar.
