CERTIFIED ORGANIC AGAVE

We honor the tequila by crafting it in the authentic, traditional way, just as Hermosa Tequila was first made almost a century ago in 1939. Every bottle begins on our single estate in Amatitán, Los Valles region, 5,000 feet above sea level. The rust-colored, mineral-rich volcanic soil nourishes our USDA certified organic Tequilana Weber Blue Agave.

Our third-generation family-owned single estate uses eco-friendly, sustainable methods to protect the land. Each agave takes 8–12 years to mature, they are hand-harvested based on sugar content by skilled jimadors using a tool called a coa, trimming the leaves for compost and leaving only the heart of the agave (piña). These 100–150 pound piñas are transported to our third generation family-owned distillery, Tequila Las Américas NOM 1480.

ARTISANAL DISTILLATION IN SMALL BATCHES

Piñas are hand-cut with an hacha, in half/forths, then slowly cooked with steam in our traditional stone oven (horno) for 48 hours, cooled naturally converting starches into fermentable sugars. Cooked piñas are crushed with a trapiche to separate fibers from the sweet aguamiel (honey-water). Fermentation occurs naturally in open-air tanks with wild yeast from the terroir, no commercial yeast is added.

Hermosa Organic Tequila is double-distilled in small stainless steel and copper alembic stills to capture purity and the delicate agave notes. Deep well water that has been filtered through 400 feet of mineral-rich volcanic soil brings the spirit to proof. Only two ingredients go into our tequila: USDA-certified organic agave and deep well water that has been filtered through 400 feet of mineral-rich volcanic soil. No additives. No glycerin. No caramel coloring. No vanilla. No flavor enhancers.

BARREL AGING

Our Reposado, Añejo, and Extra Añejo are aged in 200-liter/53 gallon American white-oak bourbon barrels. The climate and aging allows the tequila to breathe in and out of the wood, developing layers of honeyed oak, spice, caramel, and warm wood tones. Each barrel is monitored and tasted often to ensure perfection before bottling.

Hermosa Organic Tequila is a true farm-to-bottle spirit, following strict USDA and Bioagricert certified organic standards. Less than 5% of tequila meets these standards some say due to added time, costs, inspections… We use no pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, synthetic fertilizers, or artificial enhancements. From planting to pour, our process spans more than a decade.

Hermosa Organic Tequila tastes the way tequila was meant to taste: pure, timeless, and true. Every choice is traditional, every step authentic, and every detail a way to honor the tequila.
