Making this its third market launch in three months, La Caza Tequila announced today that it is expanding into Ohio. The delicious alcohol is now available across the state, including Cleveland and Columbus.
As part of this expansion, La Caza Tequila also opened an office in Cleveland, with headquarters remaining in Austin, Texas, according to a press release.
La Caza Tequila Making Waves
Following a successful launch in May 2023, La Caza is experiencing rapid growth across Texas, Florida and now Ohio, including Minotti’s, Green Road Liquor, Silver Spirits in Cleveland and Chateau Wine & Spirits, Arena Wine & Spirits and Weiland’s Market in Columbus. Although the brand is new to the market, the tequilas have already started receiving national recognition, including being named one of the “Best Tequilas for Summer 2023” by UPROXX and has garnered praise from industry experts like Agave Talk, La Tequilana, Tequila Aficionados, and many more.
“As a Cleveland resident, I am ecstatic to bring La Caza Tequila to my home of Ohio,” said La Caza Tequila CMO Andy Tran in a press release. “As tequila consumption is growing exponentially in the state, it was an obvious decision to venture into this market. However, what truly excites me are the striking parallels between our brand and the unwavering dedication and determination that define the essence of being an Ohioan. We are looking forward to building out a physical team here as we continue to expand across the northern markets.”
The Road to La Caza’s Success
The journey for La Caza Tequila began a decade ago with Austin-based Founder Drake Screws and his curiosity to find the “perfect tequila.” Growing up spending weekends outdoors with family and friends where his dad would concoct his own version of a ranch water, this sparked a passion within Drake to create an authentic spirit that captured the essence of those cherished moments.
Working in the alcohol distribution field while still in college, Drake began to simultaneously immerse himself in the education and culture of tequila making. He traveled to over sixty distilleries in Jalisco and fell in love with the process of producing tequila, from harvesting the agave plant to bottling the final product. His unparalleled passion and meticulous vision led him to the smooth spirit that is La Caza Tequila.
Now, the brand offers three exceptional tequilas:
- Blanco – The Blanco is smooth with a hint of sweetness and the floral notes of this robust tequila captivate and command attention (suggested Ohio retail price $55.00).
- Reposado – Aged by four months, the Reposado is balanced and elegant while delivering a humble barrel-age temperament with full-bodied, hazelnut flavors (suggested Ohio retail price $65.00).
- Añejo – Aged by sixteen months, the Añejo is sophisticated, featuring enchanting rich vanilla and caramel aromas and introduces subtle citrus and floral tones, culminating in a long-lasting finish (suggested Ohio retail price $85.00).
The tequilas begin with exceptional, all-natural Blue Weber Agave grown by fifth generation farmers and are handpicked in the Highlands region of Jalisco. La Caza, which means “The Hunt” in Spanish, represents the adventurous spirit of its founders and inspires consumers to embark on their own journeys, whatever they may be.
