What’s in the Bottle
Socorro is made from three ingredients: 100% Blue Weber agave, water and yeast.
Yes. Every bottle of Socorro is made from single-estate, 100% Blue Weber agave. We don’t harvest on a set calendar. We harvest when the agave is ready, at an average of over 33° Brix, a measure of the natural sugars in the piña. The goal is balance: rich natural sweetness without losing the true flavor of the agave.
Socorro agave is slow-cooked in traditional brick ovens, patiently fermented and double distilled to capture the heart of the spirit. Visit Our Process for the full story.
Socorro is double distilled, with the second distillation carefully separating the spirit to capture the heart of the tequila.
Our Tequilas
Socorro’s core expressions include Blanco tequila, Reposado tequila and Añejo tequila, along with limited and specialty releases.
Socorro Blanco is bright and crisp with fresh agave character. Reposado rests for four months in virgin American oak, adding vanilla, oak and warm spice. Añejo is aged for 14 months for a richer, more layered profile with caramelized oak, vanilla and toffee.
Socorro Blanco, Reposado and Añejo are bottled at 40% alcohol by volume, or 80 proof. Limited releases may be bottled at different strengths.
Yes. Socorro has earned multiple honors from the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and the Agavos Awards, including Gold and Double Gold medals.
