Our Story
IN JALISCO, MEXICO…
…we first saw tequila drinkers pause between sips to appreciate the depth of flavour — as the locals have been doing for centuries.
A mark of respect for the quality of the tequila — at odds with the shot culture we knew from bars back home. We were converted immediately.
It was an experience we didn’t want to leave behind. It inspired us to bring premium tequila home to the UK and to create a new appreciation for this often-overlooked spirit.
Steeped In Tradition
The Journey…
Finding the right distillery to work with took time — testing flavours, discussing techniques and sharing our vision. Just outside the town of Tequila itself, we finally found a partner with the skill and ambition to bring our unique flavoured tequila to life.
The result — HACIEN. Named for the haciendas of Jalisco where it’s sourced and bottled. Distilled from 100% blue agave, resulting in a natural sweetness. Smooth and subtle, yet full of distinctive flavour.
TRUE TEQUILA TASTE
OVER TO YOU…
HACIEN is presented in three varieties — aromatic Blanco, barrel-aged Añejo Cristalino, and our signature bottle, a lightly infused Pineapple Blanco.
Sipped straight, on the rocks or crafted into a cocktail, spending time with HACIEN is about exploration — of flavour, of texture, of tradition. Whether you’re at the beach, in the club or relaxing at home, it’s an experience to be savoured.

WHY TEQUILA?
Travelling through Mexico and discovering how tequila was meant to be enjoyed changed our whole perception of the spirit.
We want to take our customers on the same journey — discovering the leap in quality that the authentic version offers, and appreciating its history and heritage. To us, HACIEN is more than just a label.
It’s a manifesto to revolutionise how this classic spirit is served and enjoyed. And it’s an open invitation to rediscover your relationship with tequila.
