"Valor isn’t just an exceptional additive-free tequila. We respect the artisans of the spirit at every stage of production. From the tireless dedication of Jornaleros who tend to the agave year after year, to the skillful Jimadores who harvest it; and, to the family-owned distillery with generations of care and practice. Our commitment to this purpose goes beyond words – it’s ingrained in our business ethos. With 10% of every bottle purchased reinvested in the community, we are driven to support and celebrate the individuals and ecosystems that make our tequila possible."
