Three Years in Pénjamo, Guanajuato
Corralejo is made the old way at an 18th-century hacienda — the birthplace of Miguel Hidalgo — where the agave is hand-harvested from the estate's own fields, slow-cooked 36 hours in stone clay ovens, and double-distilled in Cognac-style Charentais copper pots. The estate even blows its own glass bottles and hand-applies each label. Explore the Corralejo range or shop more extra añejo tequilas.
