Named after the 'little ovens' used to roast agave, Hornitos was introduced to the world in 1950. Lead by aromas of light smoke, earth, and spice, with herbal, vanilla and dried fruit; a rich textured palate with initial sweet flavours of baking spice and vanilla, then pepper, vegetal and smoked pepper notes on the finish.

FOOD PAIRINGS FOR TEQUILA:
Tacos
The street food of 2017, especially fish tacos which with a white or silver tequila. Try a reposado if you’re eating meatier tacos like porkRaw fish
Particularly ceviche and punchily seasoned fish tartares but there's no reason why you shouldn’t try a silver tequila with sushi or sashimiGrilled seafood like squid or prawns
Especially with garlic or a touch of chilli. Silver, againA wide range of vegetables especially asparagus, green peppers and tomatillos (silver) and corn (reposado) Also avocado which of course is technically a fruit but counts as a veg in my book - guacamole being the obvious option
Recipes with fresh herbs especially coriander
Again this appears regularly in Mexican food but there’s no reason why you shouldn’t sip a silver tequila with Indian street food like samosas or puris and green chutney. It should go with middle eastern grills and salads too.Recipes with citrus especially lime and orange
Citrus works particularly well with the flavour of agave (the plant from which tequila is made)Pork
Pulled, grilled, served with corn (like posole) - all good with a reposado. Think also empanadas with a pork fillingSteak
You can partner a good steak or burger with a reposado or an anejo. Even fajitas though I probably wouldnt drink anything tooo fancy with them.Chocolate
Like most aged spirits anejo tequila goes well with dark chocolate - or even milk chocolate if it’s Mexican which has a particularly delicious fudgy texture.Try our - Cochinita Pibil or Dark Chili Chocolate .
