Gran Misterio Tequila logo
The name and logo are inspired by the Mayan Labyrinth Tza Tun Tzat or Satunsat. According to the Mayans, the Satunsat represents the cave by which the first men came out, associating it with the creation of the world.
Our logo represents the meeting of two worlds, the Cortez Horse and the Feathered Serpent united by the Agave, below the death that means the Great Mystery of Mexico, all wrapped up in the Mayan Labyrinth.

Q: What kind of baking, extraction and distillation do you use?
We bake our agaves in eco-friendly ovens. Then the juice is obtained by tearing the pineapple. This resulting juice is fermented with kosher yeast to transform it into alcohol. Finally it is distilled twice, the first one in a traditional copper alembic, which maintains the natural flavour and essence of the tequila. The second one is made in a steel alembic, which makes the tequila soft and regulates its quality.
