In fact, their great-great-grandfather, Don Cenobio, founded his first distillery in 1873, in the town of Tequila, Jalisco, and was the first person to export “mezcal de tequila” to the United States, implementing the use of steam to cook the agave and discovering that Blue Agave was the best for production. Aromas of citrus, and rich cooked agave fill the nose, with layers of butter, olive, earth, black pepper, and a deep inviting vegetal complexity.It's cleanly grassy almost citrus on the nose with a slightly earthy vegetal finish for a real taste of the agave it's made from.

Interesting fact: an old Sauza family distillery that was sold but the grandson, Guillermo Sauza has recently bought it and has up and running again, making tequila in the same way it was made over 100 years ago – with a small brick oven to cook the agave, a tahona to squeeze the juices out of the agave, wood tanks for fermentation, and the 2 original copper pots for distillation. This mosto is then transferred to wooden vats for a 5-day fermentation process, ready when the fermented must reaches around 5% ABV. Using 150-year-old methods and traditional equipment, the agaves are slowly cooked in a brick oven over 2 days.

Agaves are sourced from the Tequila Valley with double distillation in copper pots to 80% proof, before blending with natural spring water from the valley for bottling.

Their traditional brick oven with its metre-thick walls, has a 15-ton capacity, and it takes around 4 hours to load the agave piñas by hand. Manufacturers regularly change recipes and therefore we always recommend that you check the product's actual label before consuming. Using the same stone crusher mill from when the business started in 1873, his aim was simple – to create a collection of exceptional tequilas, honouring the past, and galvanising their future. Notably, Don Cenobio Sauza played a pivotal role in shaping the tequila industry into what it is today. Guillermo Sauza's dedication to tequila production shines through in this exceptional example of the spirit.
