The Hands Behind the Bottle

A small team. A shared standard. A spirit that carries all of them in every drop.
Our Team

PEOPLE FIRST. THEN THE TEQUILA.

Halcón de Oro is the product of a tightly held team — a founder driven by family legacy, two master distillers who have devoted their careers to the craft, and an operations lead who quietly holds the entire process together. We believe a tequila is only as good as the people who make it. So before we tell you about ours, we want you to meet ours.

EDUARDO CORTES ARGÜELLO

Founder & CEO

Eduardo Cortes Argüello is an accomplished businessman whose career spans continents and industries, from healthcare and construction to media, marketing, and retail. But the work that grounds him, and the work that produced Halcón de Oro, is the one closest to home.

Hailing originally from the heart of Mexico, Eduardo’s heritage extends deep into the soul of Jalisco, a region where his family has cultivated agave for generations. With Halcón de Oro, he has returned to that origin with a singular intent: to take the artistry his family has practiced for a lifetime and forge a tequila worthy of the world’s most discerning palates.

“This is about tracing back along ancestral paths to honor a longstanding family legacy, and ultimately, completing the circle to forge the world’s most distinguished Tequila.”

His journey is a fusion of tradition, innovation, and a profound love for his heritage. Every bottle of Halcón de Oro is shaped by it.

Master Distiller

Montserrat Mendoza Jimenez is among the most respected master distillers, maestras tequileras, in the highlands. Her work is defined by a rare combination of scientific precision and intuitive artistry, and by a deep, unwavering commitment to producing tequila without shortcuts.

Montserrat is the architect of our flavor profile. She shapes the rest, the aging, and the balance of each expression, guarding the highland character of the agave through every stage of production. Under her watch, no additive enters the spirit and no batch leaves the distillery until it earns the right to.

She is also one of a small but growing number of women leading the craft of tequila in Mexico, a tradition she carries forward with quiet authority and tremendous grace.
