Corralejo Tequilla

Hacienda Corralejo is the birthplace of Don Miguel Hidalgo y Costillo, renowned for launching the Mexican War of Independence. It was the first estate in Mexico to produce tequila as a commercial venture, and as such, we are among only a chosen few tequila distilleries granted the right to produce tequila in a province other than Jalisco.

All of our tequilas go through the Charentais method of double distillation, rare in the tequila industry. The first distillation takes place in a continuous still, or column still. The second distillation takes place in an Alembic copper pot still, imported from Tomelloso, Spain. The second distillation results in tequila that is refined and wonderfully aromatic.

While our Blanco is unaged and bottled fresh from the Hacienda’s distillery, Corralejo Reposado and Añejo are both aged in charred oak barrels, for four months and one year respectively, which imparts additional spice flavors and a beautiful golden hue.
