Our Story

Tequila for all

el Jimador was created by Casa Herradura, with a desire to make premium, 100% blue Weber agave tequila accessible to every person. To raise a glass is to celebrate the plant that gives us something worth sharing.

premium is the process

The soul of tequila is stored in the heart of the blue Weber agave plant.

To harvest the agave you need passionate professionals wielding razor-sharp “coas.” You need el Jimador.
