Hailing from Tequila, Jalisco in Mexico, Hornitos Tequila (named after the âlittle ovensâ used to roast agave) was introduced to the world in 1950 by our founder Don Francisco Javier Sauza in honor of Mexican Independence Day. Hornitos Cristalino is a different kind of aged tequila. Crafted using our rich and flavorful Añejo, we refine this select spirit for crystal clarity and exceptional smoothness. Itâs not what you would expect. Then again, the best things never are.
