Quetzalcoatl: The Wisdom Dragon
A giant feathered serpent in many Mesoamerican cultures represents Quetzalcoatl, which in the Maya world it is known as Kukulkan. This giant feathered serpent resembles the dragons of Asian and European myths. Quetzalcoatl even manifests itself in the wind and water like Asian dragons but it doesn’t exhale fire like some European dragons do.
The oldest image of Quetzalcoatl recorded is the one appearing in Monument 19 at the Anthropology Museum in Mexico City. It belongs to the mother culture of Mexico: The Olmec, and it is around 2-3 thousand years old.
Teotihuacan, the largest archeological site in Mexico, has a large pyramid dedicated to Quetzalcoatl (the God of Storms…wind & water). The most interesting “connection” between Asian and Mesoamerican “dragons” is that in both cultures they represent “Wisdom”.

The process
Harmony Unveiled: Crafting Tequila Elegance
From Earth to Elixir, the Artistry of Hacienda Dragon
The Agave
In the heart of Jalisco, where the sun kisses the earth, we plant the seeds of tradition. The agave, nurtured by the rich soil and embraced by the warmth of the Mexican sun, grows patiently for years. As it matures, it absorbs the essence of its surroundings, contributing to the unique character that defines Tequila Hacienda Dragon. Upholding the strict standards of the Denomination of Origin, our agave is a testament to the authenticity of our craft.
The Harvest "Jima"
Hand in hand with skilled jimadores, we embark on the journey of jima — the delicate harvest of the agave. With a deep understanding passed down through generations, our jimadores carefully select and harvest each agave at the peak of its maturity. This manual process ensures that only the finest piñas, the heart of the agave, make their way to our distillery.
Agave Roasting
To unlock the rich flavors hidden within the agave, we embrace a time-honored tradition — slow roasting. The piñas, harvested with precision, are slowly cooked in traditional brick ovens. This patient process allows the agave to release its sugars, creating the foundation for the exquisite taste that defines Tequila Hacienda Dragon.
Distillation
Distillation is the alchemy that transforms agave nectar into liquid gold. Our copper pot stills, meticulously crafted, capture the essence of the agave vapor, refining it into the pure, smooth elixir that characterizes our tequila. This process, mastered by our skilled maestros, ensures that every drop carries the spirit of craftsmanship.
Aging
The final touch in our journey is time. We entrust our tequila to carefully selected barrels, where it undergoes a patient aging process. The interaction with the wood imparts depth and complexity to the liquid, creating the distinctive notes that make Tequila Hacienda Dragon a symphony of flavors. Each bottle tells a tale of time, tradition, and the artistry behind our exceptional tequila.
