According to legend, when the Spanish conquistadors ran out of the brandy they brought from Europe, they began to distill a local agave drink, which became North America's first indigenous distilled spirit. In 1873, this golden beverage was dubbed 'tequila' by Don Cenobio Sauza, who founded La Perseverancia in Tequila, Mexico.Sauza Conmemorativo Añejo is a 100% agave tequila that’s both versatile and mixable. Its wood notes create a complex drinking experience attained only through its aging process in medium toasted American oak casks.
