Corralejo Tequila
Guanajuato tequila, Charentais stills, three oaks, one hacienda.
The story behind Corralejo
Hacienda Corralejo dates to 1755 in Penjamo, Guanajuato, one of the few places outside Jalisco legally allowed to make tequila. Don Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, the Father of Mexican Independence, was born on the grounds in 1753, and his signature still runs across every bottle. Leonardo Rodriguez Moreno brought the estate back to commercial life in the mid 1990s.
Corralejo is 100% Blue Weber agave, hand cut by jimadores from estate fields in high altitude volcanic soil. The house distills with the French Charentais method, the double distillation Cognac made famous, through copper alembic pot stills. Aging runs across French Limousin oak, American oak and Mexican Encino oak. The tall glass bottles are blown in house, blue for Reposado, red for Anejo.

Which Corralejo is right for you?
Pricing here runs honest for estate grown, pot still tequila. Corralejo Silver 750mL is $31.99, the cleanest read on the agave itself. Corralejo Reposado 750mL sits at $39.99, four months in three oaks, and it is the bottle most of our regulars reach for twice. Corralejo Anejo 750mL is $47.99, a year in new charred American oak, and it drinks closer to a light bourbon than most people expect from tequila. All three are 80 proof.

Unaged and peppery, it holds its own against lime without oak getting in the way.
Four months in three oaks softens the edges while the agave stays in front.
A year in charred American oak gives caramel and toast a bourbon fan recognizes.
Corralejo cocktails and pairings
Corralejo plays well with food that has some acid or char to it. Keep the Silver cold and the Anejo neat.
