About Hornitos

Though all tequilas are made from the flesh of the Blue Agave, Hornitos® is different because Hornitos® doesn’t try to hide the true agave flavor of our tequilas, we preserve it. From inventing a unique way to make our agave-robust Reposado, breaking the rules to create crystalline Plata and going above and beyond tequila standards to make an ultra smooth and aromatic Añejo—everything we do has your taste buds in mind.
