About the Founders
“I created Rico Royale to honor real tequila, clean, elegant, and crafted with intention. My mission was simple: build a tequila I could stand behind with absolute integrity. Every expression reflects that commitment.
”
Rico Royale Tequila was created by Joan Kane Clancy and her daughter, Joan Dominique Clancy—two women united by an extraordinary bond and an unyielding devotion to purity, beauty, and truth. Their journey began not as a business venture, but as a legacy, shaped by the values they lived and the standards they refused to compromise.
Together, they envisioned a tequila house built on discipline, integrity, and craftsmanship—one that honored their shared belief that true luxury is created through intention, not excess. Their philosophy guided every decision, from the selection of agave to the meticulous refinement process that defines Rico Royale today.
Though born of two generations, the brand carries one heartbeat:
a commitment to excellence, honesty, and creating something timeless.
Rico Royale is not simply tequila.
It is the embodiment of a mother and daughter’s pursuit of meaning, mastery, and beauty—
a legacy preserved, perfected, and poured with purpose.
