aqará, an agave spirit
hidden in the andes

Agave de los Andes

it's the earth

At 7,402 feet above sea level in the Peruvian Andes, wild agave blankets the land and gives its name to an entire town. Caraz, from the Quechua Qaray, “Land of Agaves,” our motherland. Land unfit for cultivation, close to the sky, and wild agave native to the cordillera, shape a singular terroir bound to Pachamama — whose generosity we repay by replanting three agaves for every one we harvest, under the same wild conditions.

it's the air

In the Andes, the thin air of altitude tests life at every turn. Maybe that's why life here is celebrated at every moment — through carnivals, traditions, and age-old customs. Pure, crisp air; a striking landscape; a sense of total freedom. This is the air the Andes breathe, and it lives in every bottle of AQARÁ.

it's the water

Through the veins of our distillery run the waters of the Cordillera Blanca's glaciers, of turquoise lagoons, and of Andean storms — water charged with raw natural force. The ghost note in every spirit.

it's the fire

Earth, water, and air give life and shape, while fire transforms agave into spirit. It lives in every oven, in the steam, and in the hands of everyone who makes AQARÁ — the fire of creating something different by hand, an agave spirit with an identity all its own.
