Timberlake and Kevin Ruder, 901 is produced by Destileria Santa Lucia
from a 60-year-old recipe. Triple-distilled from 100% Blue Weber Agave from Jalisco in Mexico, 901
Tequila is produced in small batches and was awarded a Double Gold medal at the
2011 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
“901 Tequila has been extremely well received by our
distributors, cocktail experts and most importantly, consumers during our first
four years in the American marketplace. We look forward to continuing to build the brand with Hi-Spirits in the UK,” said Kevin Ruder, president of 901.
Dan Bolton, managing director of Hi-Spirits, said he was “delighted” to
be bringing 901 Tequila to the UK. “Justin Timberlake’s deep respect for the heritage and quality of Tequila
has led to the development of a premium spirit that has a wide appeal,” he
said. The Tequila is named after the area code of Justin’s hometown of Memphis.
