In 1883, the town of San Martín de la Cal in Jalisco, Mexico was renamed to San Martín de Hidalgo in honor of Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, a Mexican Roman Catholic priest and a leader of the Mexican War of Independence who once marched across Mexico, gathering an army of 90,000 farmers and civilians to attack Spanish soldiers and their compatriots in arms. He was later found guilty of treason by a military court and executed. The remains of Hidalgo lie in the column of the Angel of Independence in Mexico City.

TEQUILA IS PERHAPS THE MOST COMPLEX DISTILLED SPIRIT
Our fine blue weber agave requires ten to fourteen years of growth to mature before it is ready to be harvested.
Agaves from the highlands around Arandas and San Miguel and from the lowlands around the towns of Tequila and Amatitan are selected for
San Martín de Hidalgo.
TERROIR [TIERRA ROJA + TIERRA NEGRA]
Highland agaves are sweeter and fruity with a mild agave note, while lowland agaves are spicy and earthy. This unique composition of both types of blue weber agave creates a complex and refined tequila, perfect to enjoy on its own, on the rocks, or in a cocktail.
From 2021–2025, our tequila profiles balanced Highland and Lowland agaves evenly.
The 2026 release shifts to 30% Highland and 70% Lowland agaves, with a more pronounced earthy, spicy character.
LA ELABORACIÓN DE UN TEQUILA EXCEPCIONAL
The blue weber agaves for San Martín de Hidalgo tequilas are cooked in Stone Brick Ovens and Autoclave and the Reposado and Añejo expressions are aged in American White Oak and French Oak barrels, respectively.
