Distillation and production

Production method

Production based on cultivation and harvesting of agave, cooking of the agave hearts with a mix of traditional brick ovens and autoclaves, milling with a mill, extended fermentation with natural yeasts, double distillation, chill treatment and hand bottling in amphorae/terracotta jars.

Distillation

Double distillation (two passes) after extended fermentation with natural yeasts; process described by the brand but without a specific distillation site named.

Ageing

The Reposado and Añejo expressions (and other variants in the range) are aged in used whiskey barrels for variable periods (indicated roughly between about 4 and 15 months depending on the label).

Producer history Hussong

The brand's origins recall the famous Hussong's Cantina of Ensenada (Mexico), historically cited since 1892. The modern brand claims this heritage and offers a line of tequilas inspired by the cantina's legacy.

Production philosophy

Combine traditional methods and modern processes to produce sipping tequilas: use of 100% agave, careful cooking and sugar extraction, extended fermentation and artisanal bottling to preserve the product's character.

Territory

Historical ties to Ensenada (Baja California, Mexico). Products made in Mexico and imported/bottled for the USA (bottling/import indicated for Weston, Missouri).
