In 1976, Don Javier Sauza sold his two most modern distilleries to the giant Beam Suntory, while the third distillery was excluded because considered now technologically outdated: this small distillery, in fact, had a steam-heated stone oven, a tahona animal traction for milling cooked agaves, fermentation vats in wood and a copper alembic of very limited capacity.
Guillermo Sauza, nephew of Don Javier, in 1999, decided to reopen what looked like a museum on Tequila production, and began to produce handcrafted tequila exactly as it was that time.
Tequila Reposado with a double distillation in discontinuous copper stills. Each batch is then aged individually in American oak barrels.

Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices. This parameter is calculated by dividing the bottle price by the alcohol content. The alcohol content (or strength) is the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the distillate.
This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
