Flecha Azul Tequila is more than just a premium tequila brand—it’s a testament to the power of friendship, heritage, and a shared vision for authenticity. Co-founded by Mexican-American professional golfer Abraham Ancer and Mexican entrepreneur Aron Marquez, Flecha Azul is the product of their combined passion for excellence, rooted in their deep connection to their Mexican heritage. What started as a conversation between two friends with a mutual respect for Mexican traditions quickly grew into a mission to create a tequila that not only honors its origins but stands as a symbol of quality and craftsmanship.
Their friendship, born from shared experiences and a love for their culture, has been key to Flecha Azul’s development. It’s this camaraderie that fuels their commitment to ensuring that Flecha Azul remains true to its roots. Ancer and Marquez didn’t set out to create just another tequila brand; they aimed to build something that would reflect the rich history of tequila-making in Mexico, while also delivering a product that represents the best in modern tequila.
Flecha Azul is crafted at the renowned Tequila Orendain, a distillery that has been producing tequila since 1926. Located in the heart of Jalisco, Mexico, Tequila Orendain is a family-run distillery steeped in tradition and known for its dedication to preserving time-honored tequila-making methods.
Flecha Azul offers a versatile lineup of tequilas that cater to both traditional tequila enthusiasts and those looking to explore the full spectrum of the spirit. Each expression is crafted with the same dedication to quality, but offers its own distinct characteristics:
- Blanco: The purest form of tequila, Flecha Azul Blanco is unaged and bottled straight after distillation. It boasts a crisp, clean flavor profile that highlights the natural sweetness of the agave, with subtle hints of citrus and herbs. Perfect for sipping or mixing into cocktails, the Blanco is a showcase of Flecha Azul’s commitment to simplicity and purity.
- Reposado: Aged for six months in American oak barrels, Flecha Azul Reposado offers a beautiful balance between the fresh agave flavors and the warm, toasted notes imparted by the wood. With hints of vanilla, caramel, and a smooth, mellow finish, this expression is ideal for those who enjoy a slightly richer tequila with depth and complexity.
- Añejo: Aged for 18 months, Flecha Azul Añejo takes the flavors of the agave to new levels, delivering a tequila with a full-bodied, velvety texture. Notes of dark chocolate, oak, and cooked agave come together to create a luxurious drinking experience. The Añejo is best enjoyed neat, allowing the intricate layers of flavor to be fully appreciated.
- Añejo Cristalino: Combining the complexity of an aged tequila with the smoothness of a Blanco, Flecha Azul Añejo Cristalino is a modern take on tradition. Filtered to remove color, while preserving the rich flavors developed during aging, this expression offers a unique balance of oak, vanilla, and fresh agave.
- Extra Añejo: The crown jewel of the Flecha Azul portfolio, the Extra Añejo is aged for 36 months in American oak barrels, resulting in a deep, complex tequila that is truly exceptional. With notes of dried fruits, spices, and caramel, this expression is the pinnacle of luxury, perfect for the most discerning tequila aficionados.
Whether you’re enjoying the crisp, clean taste of the Blanco or savoring the rich complexity of the Extra Añejo, Flecha Azul invites you to experience the spirit of Mexico in every sip.
