Motorsports Race Series.

Performance is a hallmark of the Mazda experience, and it’s put to the test everytime at the tracks of the MAZDASPEED Motorsports Race Series.

The Mazda MX-5 Cup is named for the Miata roadster, which took the automotive world by storm in 1989 and proved itself a competitor on both road and track. The Atlantic Championship is a formula racing series and one of the top open wheel racing venues in the country; Mazda is proud to not only sponsor the race, but also to help power its engines with Mazda design.

The Star Mazda Championship is a spec-racing series powered by advanced RENESIS engines and carbon fiber race cars, where the top international racing prospects of tomorrow come to prove their mettle. All three races are powered by Mazda engineering, ingenuity, and passion for a true driving experience.

About El Grado Tequila

El Grado ultra-premium tequilas are crafted of 100% pure Blue Weber Agave plants grown in the rich volcanic soil of Los Altos in the highlands of western Jalisco. Each agave plant is carefully selected from mature fields, yielding large plants high in sugar content. La piña, the soul of the agave plant, is never rushed; it is selected at its peak maturity to provide El Grado Tequila a mellow, fully developed agave flavor.

The traditional art of slow-cooking has not changed with El Grado; it has been improved. We combine state-of-the-art, quality process controls supported by modern technology with the traditional production and crop techniques used 200 years ago and handed down through generations. Tradition meets the 21st century.

El Grado Spirits produces the world’s finest ultra-premium tequila at a reasonable price, so the world can discover the taste of a truly great tequila.

Our Heritage

El Grado Tequila is for those who appreciate tequila – those who desire a fine, quality spirit. The smooth, ultra-premium tequila is worthy of both everyday enjoyment and special occasions. El Grado offers a fine, true experience of the Blue Weber Agave, with a unique bouquet and flavor profile. Enjoy it neat, over ice, as a traditional shot, or as the perfect ingredient in “The Real Margarita.”

El Grado’s taste profile is born of the best qualities of Blue Weber Agave. Our attention to every detail, from harvest to fermentation and distillation, produces an ultra-premium tequila unmatched by any competitor. The incredible, rich taste makes El Grado truly worthy of its heritage as Tequila’s Crown Jewel.
