History[edit | edit source]

The history of Sauza Tequila dates back to 1873 when Don Cenobio Sauza established the La Perseverancia distillery in Tequila, Jalisco.

The production process involves harvesting the agave plants, cooking the piñas (the heart of the agave), extracting the juice, fermenting it, and then distilling it. Sauza Tequila is known for its smooth and crisp flavor, which is achieved through a meticulous production process.
