  • Borracho Tequila is a premium, additive-free spirits brand founded by Arizona bar owners Tom and Troy. The company, born in Phoenix, Arizona, and crafted in Tequila, Jalisco, was established out of the founders' search for an authentic, high-quality tequila, leading them to partner with the family-owned Casa Meza distillery in Jalisco. This partnership evolved into Borracho holding an ownership stake, ensuring direct oversight of the production process and a consistent supply chain. The brand's operational philosophy centers on traditional, artisanal methods. Its production process begins with hand-harvesting mature, 7-8 year old Blue Weber agave from the volcanic soil of Jalisco. Borracho utilizes an intentionally high agave input, using 11 kilograms of estate-grown agave per liter, more than double the industry average, to achieve a richer texture and authentic flavor profile. The agave piñas are slow-cooked in traditional brick ovens (hornos), crushed, and then the extracted juice, or aguamiel, is fermented in open-air tanks before being double-distilled for smoothness and clarity. The entire process is additive-free, with the final product's quality and authenticity verified by CRT testing. Borracho's product lineup has garnered significant industry recognition. Its Blanco Artesanal received a Gold medal at both the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and the Latin American World Spirits Competition. The brand also produces a first-of-its-kind Espresso Cristalino, which earned a Double Gold at the Latin American competition, underscoring the company's commitment to quality and craftsmanship. Borracho Tequila targets the premium spirits market, appealing to both consumers and on-premise establishments that prioritize authenticity and a clean, unadulterated product.

  • The company was founded in Phoenix, Arizona, with deep roots in the state, licensing technology from the University of Arizona and receiving support from Tech Launch Arizona. The firm's journey included participation in the Air Force Accelerator Powered By Techstars in 2019 and securing contracts with the US Air Force to advance its product development. The core of Botanisol Analytics' business was the development of autonomous testing kiosks designed to provide laboratory-level accuracy with the convenience of an ATM. The technology utilized a next-generation Raman spectrometer, shining a laser on a human sample to measure reflected light, thereby identifying diseases, contaminants, or intoxicants. This method eliminates the need for chemical reagents, relying instead on interpreting the optical signature of pathogens to deliver results in approximately five minutes. The system was designed to be portable, operable by minimally-trained staff, and function with a standard power outlet, making it suitable for a wide range of settings including airports, military bases, pharmacies, and public events. The company targeted healthcare providers and national security agencies, offering a cost-effective, on-the-spot screening solution to address the need for immediate and reliable substance analysis. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the technology was positioned as a rapid screening system for SARS-CoV-2. To validate its technology, Botanisol Analytics partnered with institutions like Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, an affiliate of Harvard Medical School, and collaborated with the University of Arizona, Northern Arizona University, and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. The business model focused on providing these systems to help public health officials, universities, and event planners make data-driven decisions. One source indicates the company may have ceased operations as of August 2025.
