Agave-friendly and human-friendly, Humano Tequila honors the human touch at each step of production from hand-harvesting to quality artisanal distillation
AUSTIN, Texas , Aug. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Humano Tequila, one of the few tequila producers with direct control over their production from field to glass, has officially launched in the U.S. Available in Blanco, Reposado, Añejo and Joven expressions, Humano Tequila practices an agave-friendly and human-friendly approach. Humano is made from a diverse range of agave cultivated across 1,250 acres before undergoing an artisanal production process at the Humano distillery. A single estate tequila with a true expression of place in the highlands of Jalisco, Humano Tequila is 100% additive-free.
"Our name honors the human touch at each step of production from hand-harvesting and the time-honored work of the jimador, to the gentle cooking, extraction, distillation and aging processes that are essential to making exceptional tequila," shares Anahi Rivera, COO and Co-Founder of Humano Tequila. "Hundreds of artisans and farmers have worked at our ranch over four generations, and talent runs deep in our community. Our goal is to care for people by crafting an expressive range of quality tequila that fosters meaningful connections while supporting the many families that make the Humano dream a reality."
"At Humano we believe in making tequila responsibly with a respect for the land and the people that have come before us – and the generations that will follow," adds Luis Abundis, CEO and Co-Founder of Humano Tequila. "As agave-friendly growers, we let our plants reach maturity and hand-select for the highest quality across our estates. This estate approach allows us to work with our farmers to make a range of tequilas as complex and unique as the fields they come from."
Humano Tequila is made from 100% single estate-grown agave. Hand-selected agaves go through "Agave Wash," a customized approach to carefully remove impurities, followed by cooking in an optimal combination of autoclave and brick ovens. The cooked agaves are then transferred to roller mills to blend and extract the liquid honey as gently as possible. Fermentation with proprietary yeast in closed tanks helps retain the character of estate agave and is followed by double distillation in stainless steel pots with copper. Aged expressions rest at the Humano distillery in a combination of 100% new American oak and Bourbon barrels and are blended to perfection to achieve a complex and elegant flavor.
Humano Tequila is available in four expressions: Humano Blanco ($49.99); Humano Reposado ($59.99); Humano Añejo ($69.99); and Humano Joven ($79.99). Humano is currently available in Texas, California, Florida, New York, New Jersey, Georgia and Illinois, with plans to phase-in additional distribution markets. Humano Tequila also supports direct e-commerce purchase through their website: humanotequila.com.

About Humano Tequila
Agave-friendly and human-friendly, Humano Tequila is built on the principle of celebrating humanity and fostering meaningful connections that give back to community. Distilled in the small town of Tototlan in upper Jalisco, Humano honors the human touch at every stage of production, a legacy that dates back over four generations. One of the few tequila producers with direct control from field to glass, Humano sources agave from 1,250 acres situated at varying elevations in the highlands of Jalisco. The agave is allowed to reach maturity (essential to future flowering and preserving biodiversity) and is hand-selected and artisanally crafted with no additives. The result is a range of clean, flavorful and smooth tequilas with authentic estate character, including: Humano Blanco, Humano Reposado, Humano Añejo, and Humano Joven.
