The agave plant embarks on an extraordinary journey from its birthplace in Jalisco, Mexico, where the rich volcanic soil and temperate climate provide the ideal conditions for cultivation. It takes several years for the agave to mature before it is harvested by skilled jimadors, who carefully extract the piñas, or hearts, of the plant.
Once harvested, the piñas undergo a meticulous process of roasting, shredding, fermenting, and distilling to transform them into tequila. At our Rocket Boutique Distillery in Johannesburg, we honour this tradition by using authentic methods to craft our tequila, ensuring that each bottle captures the essence of its Mexican roots while embracing the spirit of South Africa.
