Though all tequilas are made from the flesh of the Blue Agave, Hornitos is different, because Hornitos does not try and hide the true agave flavour of the tequila, it is preserved. Hornitos Tequila Sauza has agave flavour and your taste buds in mind. When it comes to creating pure agave tequila, it is yet to meet its match.Tequila Sauza is today the second largest distiller of tequila and the fastest growing spirit brand in the world. Their spirit is the bestselling tequila in Mexico. Sauza struck pay dirt with the introduction of Sauza® Hornitos 100% Puro de Agave Reposado Tequila. Hornitos is distilled entirely from mature blue agave at the Sauza La Perseverancia Distillery in Jalisco, Mexico. The harvested agaves are baked, shredded, fermented and double-distilled in both an alembic still and a stainless steel column still. Sauza then ages Hornitos for 4 to 6 months in large vats, which is just enough time in the oak to soften its character without being appreciably affected by the tannins in the wood. As a result, Hornitos has the exuberance and fresh agave character of a blanco tequila with a touch of the mellow refinement of an añejo.
