CRAFTED BY ANCESTRAL HANDS
The essence of Humano’s production are the fourth generation of farmers and Jimadores, who possess a profound understanding of the land. Our land and Jimadores alike have an ancestral quality, drawing inspiration and knowledge from an almost spiritual source of wisdom.
OUR VISION
Humano Tequila is built on the principle of celebrating humanity and fostering meaningful connections. The brand is dedicated to representing diverse individuals, giving back to the community, and upholding the core values of its founders.
The “Humano dream” was born from the shared vision and desire of 5 veterans in the industry, with very diverse demographics and sets of skills, to create a legacy product with a real social meaning, that could be a platform to tell a meaningful story.
Our Human goal is to be a platform for our farmers to tell their story and to be able to help their families to improve their quality of life.
Harvesting
We grow our agave in a single estate in the highlands of Jalisco. We hand-pick the best mature agave to start our process.
Agave Wash
This unique process removes all impurities from the pineapples (piñas).
Cooking
We involve the best of the two worlds: tradition and technology. We use a blend of cooked agave from autoclave ovens and brick ovens to get unique notes from both processes.
Milling
Cooked agave is transferred to the roller mill, where it is crushed to obtain liquid honey and separated from the plant fibers and solids.
Fermentation
We create our own yeast specific to the profiles we are looking for. We use a closed fermentation process in stainless steel tanks.
Distillation
Double distillation in stainless steel pots with copper.
Aging
We age our tequila on-site, and we use a double barrel aging process, master blending our tequila from brand new American oak barrels and bourbon barrels.
At Humano Tequila we are proud to say that we control our processes from Dirt-to-Glass. With over 1,250 acers of agave fields in the highlands of Jalisco, we have over 4 million plants on the ground that gives the assurance of a single state agaves from the same region. This allow us not only to be able to keep up with the production needs in the future, but also to maintain the consistency and high quality of our products.
