A Michoacán Tequila, Far From the Usual Path
Most tequila comes from Jalisco, but the Denomination of Origin reaches into a handful of neighboring states — and Hacienda Sahuayo is one of the rare tequilas made in Michoacán. The family-owned distillery, CIA. Tequilera Hacienda Sahuayo (NOM 1511), controls the whole process from agave to bottle, cooking its piñas in autoclaves and double-distilling in stainless pot stills. The importer, Mara Imports, also brings in the brand's Tlahualil line from the same distillery. It is a blanco for drinkers who like their tequila clean and agave-forward rather than dressed up.
Tasting Notes
The importer's ficha leads with cooked agave, milk caramel, and citrus sparkles — grapefruit up front — followed by fruity aromas, herbal and raw-agave nuances, delicate floral tones, and a mineral sparkle on the finish. Bright and transparent in the glass, it sips with a lively peppered warmth and mixes cleanly into a margarita or paloma.
How to Enjoy
Serve chilled or over one large cube to let the agave and mineral notes open up. It is a natural fit for classic tequila cocktails — a three-ingredient margarita or a grapefruit paloma shows off its citrus sparkle. Blanco purists will appreciate it neat alongside the other Hacienda Sahuayo expressions on the shelf.
