The Gold Standard of the Casa Sauza Back Bar
Casa Sauza has distilled in Tequila, Jalisco since Don Cenobio Sauza took over the La Perseverancia distillery in 1873 and made the first tequila exports to the United States. Sauza Gold — today labelled Sauza Hacienda Gold — is the house's gold mixto: a double-distilled joven whose caramel-kissed sweetness is built for mixed drinks rather than the sipping glass. Find it among our tequila staples, see the house range on the Sauza vendor page, or line it up against its unaged sibling, Sauza Silver Tequila.

How to Enjoy
