Chaya tequila Chaya tequila Chaya is a brand of tequila produced by "Interco Brands Inc" The product is produced from 100% Blue Agave. Chaya tequila was the brain child of Albert Berentsen, former president of Kahlúa S.A. It is manufactured from 100% Blue Agave at Industrializadora de Agave San Isidro. Unlike many tequila brands manufactured at the Industrializadora de Agave San Isidro production facility, Chaya is never wood barrel aged. Some reviews state this may preserve more of the natural fruity flavor of the Blue Agave plant. It was the first tequila to be included in gift bags at the MTV Movie
Tequila Herradura Part of the legal problems stemmed from the sale of shares to non-Mexican entities. In 2004, Herradura bought back foreign owned shares, making the company 100% Mexican owned again. At this time, the company controlled thirty percent of the Mexican tequila markets behind Jose Cuervo’s forty percent share. However, in 2007 all assets of the company were sold for $USD 776 million to the US-based company Brown-Forman, which produces other alcoholic beverages such as Jack Daniel's, Southern Comfort, Finlandia Vodka and Korbel California Champagne. That same year Herradura was named "best distillery of 2007" by Wine Enthusiast Magazine . Since
