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 Sauza family continued to manage the brand for several generations, contributing to its growth and reputation.
Production[edit | edit source]
Sauza Tequila is made from the blue agave plant, which is native to the region around 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.
