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.
