Flecha Azul Tequila is a relatively new brand in the spirits market.
Flecha Azul Tequila is both a new entry in the tequila category and also a truly authentic brand, co-founded in 2020 by Mexican-American PGA golfer Abraham Ancer and Mexican entrepreneur Aron Marquez, rooted in the bonds of friendship and love for Mexican culture!
The History of the Flecha Azul Tequila Brand
Coming from humble beginnings on either side of the US-Mexico border, both Abraham Ancer and Aron Marquez have aimed high in life for themselves, their families, and their culture. The two became fast friends during a golf tournament in Mexico — by the 19th hole, they had bonded over their shared history… and their love of tequila.
Derived from the Spanish words for Blue and Arrow, the name Flecha Azul captures the vision of its founders while pointing to the source of the spirit itself: the Blue Weber Agave. Together, Abe and Aron have created a truly approachable and versatile range of top-shelf tequilas to be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, and in cocktails.
Today, the company offers five expressions of additive-free tequila: Blanco, Reposado, Añejo, Cristalino, and Extra Añejo. Each spirit celebrates centuries of history, tradition and heritage created more than 200 years ago.
Flecha Azul is hand-crafted in Jalisco, Mexico, from fully-matured 100% estate-grown Blue Weber Agave and produced by a multi-generational, family-owned, and operated distillery with practices dating back to 1840. The brand holds true to traditional methods of making tequila. Flecha’s Agave piñas are cooked in traditional masonry ovens called hornos, a centuries-old process that honors the heritage of tequila-making.
Today, Flecha Azul consists of five expressions of top-shelf tequila (available for purchase on Drizly):
