The story behind it

The maker

Founded in 1950 by Don Francisco Javier Sauza in Tequila, Jalisco, Hornitos was born out of a desire to create a more vibrant, agave-forward tequila. Don Francisco revolutionized the category by introducing unique production techniques, including cooking the agave in brick ovens to lock in the freshest possible flavors.

How it is made

Crafted at the historic Sauza Distillery in Jalisco, Hornitos Plata is double-distilled to retain the true character of its agave source. The agave piñas are gently cooked in ovens to maximize flavor extraction before undergoing traditional fermentation.
