The art of Mexican spirits.
Born from a hidden discovery in the highlands of Jalisco — and named for the year a country was reborn. This is the story of Casa 1921.
A secret behind a wall.
Some years ago, during the restoration of an old house at Hacienda La Colorada in Jalisco, an unexpected discovery was made. A hidden passage revealed a forgotten cellar — filled with gold coins, relics, and chests of historical memories.
Among the artifacts were bottles that had remained sealed for nearly six decades. Their clay labels, almost illegible, hinted at a tequila of exceptional quality. That moment marked the beginning of a story still being written.
Inspired by what they found, in 1996 a group of tequila enthusiasts founded Casa 1921 — named for the year the Mexican Revolution came to an end, a tribute to the resilience that defines our country.
Milestones across a century.
