The story behind it

The maker

Hornitos was founded in 1950 by Don Francisco Javier Sauza in Jalisco, Mexico, with a vision to create a tequila that honored the pure taste of the blue agave. By pioneering innovative production techniques, the Sauza family revolutionized the tequila category, establishing Hornitos as a benchmark for accessible quality.

How it is made

Crafted at the historic Sauza Distillery, this tequila is produced using a unique extraction method that captures the freshest flavor of the agave before cooking. The juice is then double-distilled in traditional copper pot stills to preserve its vibrant, estate-grown character.
