Premium Tequila brand HACIEN has announced its availability at two internationally renowned Michelin-starred restaurants – The Samling and Shaun Rankin At Grantley Hall.
Having already won the stamp of approval from a host of industry experts and tequila connoisseurs for the brand's exceptional quality and subtle flavours, this latest move comes as no surprise and signifies another milestone for HACIEN.
Co-founder, Seb Francis, said, "We’re delighted to see HACIEN embraced by establishments that share our commitment to excellence and our passion for combining tradition with innovation.”
The Samling, nestled in the idyllic Lake District, is known for its luxury dining experience which pairs perfectly with HACIEN’s unwavering commitment to quality.
Simon Joy, bar manager at The Samling, said, "We offer a wide range of agave spirits, including many premium and rare tequilas and mezcals. HACIEN is a new brand but the quality of the product is competitive with well-established tequilas in the market.”
“Our signature tequila cocktail ‘Mexican Cat Tail’ is made with HACIEN Tequila Blanco, and our customers also enjoy HACIEN Pineapple Tequila Blanco with a light tonic or soda."
Shaun Rankin at Grantley Hall is known for its fresh, locally sourced ingredients and a menu that’s inspired by Yorkshire’s rich culinary heritage. HACIEN’s tequila adds a touch of Mexican charm and authenticity.
Lauren Frid, restaurant manager, said, "From a flavour perspective, the HACIEN tequila range stands out as a remarkable product that is reshaping the perception of Tequila in the UK market. What captivates me is how the simplicity of the agave is prominently showcased in every tequila variant."
“My personal favourite is the Añejo Cristalino, as its flavour profile defies expectations and offers a delightful surprise that is not typically associated with tequila.”
HACIEN’s entry into the luxury dining space complements existing placements in high-end nightspots such as Dakota and Tattu, luxury retail institutions including Harvey Nichols and Selfridges, as well as the brand’s recent partnership with Amber Lounge, Monaco at this year’s Formula 1 Grand Prix race.
