As hot and spicy flavor profiles continue to grip American palates, San Francisco’s Hotaling & Co. is releasing an all-new artisanal agave spirit – Fiero Habanero Tequila – to meet the opportunity for spice-forward spirits.

The spiciest infused tequila now available in the U.S., Fiero is naturally infused with fresh, vine-ripened habanero peppers from local Jalisco farmer’s markets. Forty times spicier than Jalapeno peppers on the Scoville Heat Scale, Fiero Habanero Tequila will heat up home bars and back bars with its flaming agave kick.

Named for fearlessness and bravery, Fiero brings two signature Mexican flavors to life.
Unapologetically spicy, Fiero Habanero Tequila infuses authentic Mexican tequila with hand-picked habanero peppers to expertly amplify tequila’s natural kick. The habanero infusion provides a flaming hot flavor, making it the perfect challenge shot or the key ingredient to a spicy margarita.

Fiero Habanero Tequila is distilled by Casa Don Roberto, one of the only two remaining multi-generational Mexican families whose ancestors helped propel the tequila industry to its global status. This unique heritage and history were crucial in producing a spirit that perfectly balances quality, flavor and heat. Each agave is expertly harvested – handpicked at its peak by jimadores (“agave farmers”) and slow roasted in special ovens for three days.

Once the distillation process begins, Casa Don Roberto Master Distiller Estella Anguiano – the first woman to hold the title in Mexico – removes the first and last batches of the distillate – delivering a premium white tequila that is then infused with fresh habanero peppers for three days before being filtered one last time. The result: a pristine and spicy agave spirit worthy of the Mexican tequila imprimatur.

Fiero is available as a 750 ml bottle with an SRP of $29.99. Use Hotaling & Co.’s product finder tool to find it at major retailers nationwide or order it online through ReserveBar.com.
