Inherited and honored for
5 generations.
Within these same 5 generations, the families in the history of the origin of tequila stand out.
Arandas Jalisco was the home of the Camarena family, among others that were part of its foundation.
Our Story
The Camarena brothers used to run the Santa Maria ranch from sunset to sunset. The only thing that could stop them was their parents call to come home for dinner.
Driven by the unbridled passion that lived in their hearts, one afternoon in the cold winters of 1976, they left the ranch without permission to ride their horses, taking them to the municipal lane of Arandas for a clandestine race of 100 rods, the young brothers looked at each other with the certainty that this day would remain engraved in their memories; with passion and enthusiasm, they set off on their horses in an unprecedented race, competing head to head….
A few meters from the end of the race, the unexpected happens, they see that the chain of the finish line is set and they know perfectly well that their end is near… Suddenly, the imposing mare «Paloma» runs to line up next to the horse «Pinto», and with the sum of their strength they manage to break the chain, saving the lives of the Camarena brothers. That moment was the motivation to follow a dream, Tequila Carrera.
MEXICAN ARTIST
The horse in our bottle was painted in watercolor to represent freedom and fluidity by a mexican painter, we combined basic elements of nature (water and pigment), to represent the ancestral way that was used at the beginning in the history of art.
