El Jimador

El Jimador Tequila is produced at the Herradura distillery in Jalisco, Mexico. The tequila is named in tribute to the hard working farmers, the Jimadores, who harvest the blue agave plants from which the drink is derived. Skilled with the tool of their trade, a flat blade at the end of a pole known as a coa, the Jimador knows exactly when an agave is perfectly ripe and can deftly remove the long bladed leaves of the plant exposing the pina from which the juice is extracted. The hard work and dedication of these farmers has made El Jimador the number one selling tequila in Mexico.
