Hornitos Black Barrel Tequila
Añejo tequila triple-aged in charred barrels for whiskey-like depth
This unique Añejo tequila is aged for twelve months in traditional oak, then finished in deeply charred Scottish whiskey casks and toasted American oak. The result is an innovative spirit that beautifully bridges the gap between classic agave brightness and rich, oaky whiskey complexity.

Hornitos was founded in 1950 by Don Francisco Javier Sauza in Jalisco, Mexico, with the revolutionary vision of creating a cleaner, fresher tequila. The brand pioneered cooking agave in modern autoclaves to retain its pure vegetable character rather than traditional ovens.
Crafted at the historic Sauza distillery, this spirit undergoes a triple-aging process that utilizes deep charred oak barrels. This unique process mimics whiskey aging techniques while preserving the baseline estate agave profile of Jalisco.
