OTACA Tequila

A graduate of the school of hard knocks, Anthony Accetta’s successful entrepreneur’s career has seen a few twists and turns, but hard work and determination has enabled him to pursue his dreams. After building a series of state of the art and very lucrative car wash properties on the west coast, as well as his work as a renowned developer and builder of luxury properties, Anthony is not a man to sit on his laurels. His next challenge is commensurate with someone whose appetite for a life well-lived has led him on a quest to find the perfect tequila which has transformed him from consumer to entrepreneur. He is driven with passion, vision and a singular goal in mind: finding the smoothest, most perfect “juice” (as tequila is called) and bringing it to the perfect audience, OTACA Tequila is the culmination of years of research, experimentation. OTACA Tequila is poised to be a relevant player in what has become one of the fastest growing segments in the spirits industry. As he is fond of saying, and so much so, that he trademarked this phrase in 2011 sure that it would become a global name, which is now our motto and our name, once tried, always craved... Agave, OTACA!
