Founded in 2017, Volcán de mi Tierra represents a unique partnership between LVMH and the Gallardo Family. Crafted with care, it offers three exceptional variants: Blanco, Reposado, and Cristalino.

History & Heritage

 

Volcán de mi Tierra tequila's history is rooted in the volcanic eruption of the Tequila volcano in Jalisco, Mexico over 200,000 years ago. The eruption created rich volcanic soil that's ideal for growing blue agave, the plant used to make tequila. The name "Volcán de mi Tierra" translates to "land of the volcano". 
 
The Volcano

The Tequila volcano is located in the lowlands of Jalisco, Mexico. 

The eruption created soil rich in basalt and iron, which gives Volcán de mi Tierra its unique taste. Red volcanic soils of the region are well suited for growing blue agave. 
 
The Tequila

Volcán de mi Tierra is a premium tequila made from 100% blue agave. Volcan de mi Terra tequila is a partnership between Moët Hennessy and the Gallardo family.  Volcan  combines traditional and modern methods of tequila production. 

Volcan de mi Terra message is to re-educate people about tequila as a drink that's worthy of sipping and savouring. 
 
The Distillery

The Agrotequilera de Jalisco is located at the foot of the volcano. 

 

 

 

Tasting Notes

AROMA

The aroma opens with fresh, herbaceous, and subtly earthy notes of roasted agave, complemented by hints of eucalyptus and delicate summer flowers. Citrus elements of lime peel, pink grapefruit, and cherry intertwine with the richness of cooked apple, while a touch of flinty minerality and petrichor add depth. A dash of cinnamon and black pepper introduces a layer of aromatic spice.
