Heroe de Leon Tequila History - General Francisco Murguia

Tequila Héroe de León was created and produced to honor the late Mexican General Francisco Murguía.

Gen. Murguía, while fighting for Mexico during the Revolution, earned the nickname “Héroe de León (Hero of León)” for his role in the Battle of León in 1915 defeating Francisco “Pancho” Villa’s much larger army.
Héroe de León was developed y Gen. Murguía’s great-grandson, Antonio Murguía, with the General’s same passion for excellence and commitment to their native Mexico and its most famous export – Tequila.
