El Jimador Tequila
100% Blue Weber agave tequila from Amatitan since 1994.
The story behind El Jimador
El Jimador arrived in 1994, but the hands behind it go back much further. Casa Herradura has been distilling in Amatitan, Jalisco since 1870, and the brand took its name from the jimadores, the crews who walk the fields and cut Blue Weber agave by hand with a curved coa. That is the whole idea: field work first, bottle second.
Every drop is 100% Blue Weber agave, no added sugars, cooked and extracted at NOM 1119, double distilled in column stills, and fermented on wild yeasts native to the fruit trees around the distillery. Brown-Forman bought the house in 2006. We have poured El Jimador across this counter for decades because the agave stays loud and the price stays honest.
