ABOUT US

In the sixteenth century, botanist Guillermo Hergueta, immersed himself in the remote peaks of Mexico, challenging the unknown.

He quickly noticed and rebelled against the abuses and massacres that the conquistadors were perpetrating among the local tribes and joined them.

With his knowledge, he not only dispelled the shadow of an epidemic among the small Aztec tribe of Tepetl but also forged an honorable pact with them.

As a sign of friendship, the tribal chief named "Tlalocan" revealed to Guillermo a recipe guarded like a treasure, destined to become the throbbing heart of Tequila Uno, Casa Hergueta.

A homage to the vitality of the blue agave where power and delicacy blend together in a spell of sensations.

Our STORY

Harvesting of Agave

Blu Agave is harvested after a minimum of six years. Meanwhile, the plant develops its leaves and heart, known as "piña". This process is essential to ensure the quality of agave.

It's in the piña that the sugar necessary for fermentation is concentrated, which determines the taste and quality of tequila.

Our PROCESS

Distillation

Distillation separates the essential components of agave. This step is crucial to getting the best taste. The distillation is carried out in two stages: the first is carried out in a copper stills, while the second uses distillation columns. Filtration helps soften the final product.

Ageing

Tequila aging is a fundamental process. Casa Hergueta tequila uses oak barrels, which have been grown for at least ten years, to ensure optimal quality. Aging lasts for a minimum of six months in wooden containers.

Packaging and Storage

After aging, tequila is packaged and stored in wooden containers. This process ensures that tequila retains its aromas and flavor, while continuing to grow.

TO FINISH

Tequila Casa Hergueta is the result of a process of tradition and innovation. Every step, from harvesting agave to aging, is carefully executed to deliver the highest quality product.
