ArteNOM is a consortium of four tequila distillers committed to reducing their carbon footprint and their reliance on turbulent market cycles while also producing exceptional artisanal tequila with minimal intervention. Norma Official Mexicana ("NOM") denotes that the bottle is authentic tequila produced in Mexico. Each producer is assigned a number that must be displayed on the bottle.

The Vivanco family has been cultivating highland blue agave for more than a century and in the 1990s, realized their dream of establishing a distillery which gave them creative control over the yield of their 2,000-acre agave estate. For their ArteNOM Selección de 1414, they ferment the agave mash with field-extracted wild yeast, steam roast it in brick kiln ovens, and age it for four months in American White Oak to create a rich and well-balanced tequila.

ArteNOM tequilas are additive-free and do not use diffusers in their production, which retains their unique regional characteristics and differentiates them from mass-market producers. And as an added green bonus and benefit to the land, longer growth cycles (immature agave is harvested for diffuser tequilas) means less disturbance and less impact on local biology such as the soil, pollinating insects and birds, and other creatures who inhabit their Jalisco agave fields.
