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

by 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.
