Where They Are Now
On an anniversary bottling, Leonardo Rodriguez Moreno said, "It is an honour to celebrate 25 years of Corralejo Tequila with such a rare and delicious liquid." The remark frames the release as a marker of time as much as taste. He added, "This 25th Anniversary Extra Añejo celebrates and pays homage to the history, culture and heritage the Corralejo Tequila brand was built on, and that to this day remains within the hacienda’s community." In that reading, the bottle stands as a statement of place, memory, and continuity rooted in the hacienda.
