Tequila General Gorostieta is an homage to courage. It is a love letter and a silent acknowledgement to those who stand and fight for what they believe in, those who overcome adversity with bravery and resilience. To those who have chosen sacrifice yet remain faithful to the cause they pursue. A tequila for those who believe.
General Gorostieta’s story is one of sacrifice, valor, and endurance. A hidden and almost unknown story written 100 years ago. Today we have decided to dust it off, tell it truthfully, and spread it to the world.
General Enrique Gorostieta was the leader of the Cristero movement , a civil war during post-revolutionary Mexico, in the 1920s. He graduated from the Heroico Colegio Militar with an impeccable arms career that reached its peak way beyond the end of the Porfiriato era. Considered an extraordinary infantry strategist, his shrewdness earned him a prompt promotion to the rank of Brigadier General at the age of twenty-four.
