History
Cazadores Anejo Tequila has a rich history that dates back to the early 1920s when Jose Maria Bañuelos, a local farmer, began cultivating blue Weber agave in the Jalisco highlands. Bañuelos eventually started distilling tequila on his property, and the quality of his product quickly gained a reputation in the region.
In 1937, Bañuelos officially registered the Cazadores tequila brand, naming it after the deer that roamed his land. The brand continued to grow in popularity over the decades, with the Bañuelos family passing down their tequila-making knowledge from generation to generation.
In 1973, the Cazadores brand was acquired by Bacardi, a global spirits company, and became part of their portfolio of premium tequilas. Bacardi has continued to uphold the traditional methods of tequila-making that were established by the Bañuelos family, while also investing in modern technology to improve the production process.
Today, Cazadores Anejo Tequila is recognized as one of the top premium tequilas in the world, with a reputation for exceptional quality and flavor. The brand has also expanded its product line to include other varieties of tequila, including Blanco, Reposado, and Extra Anejo, as well as flavored tequilas.
