Butterfly Cannon Blue Tequila

About Butterfly Cannon Tequila

Located in New York, Biggar and Leith was founded in 2016 by industry veteran Elwyn Gladstone. The company is on a mission to bring quality spirits from family-owned producers to consumers across the globe. Gladstone was joined by Mark Teasdale in 2018 ― the pair have previously collaborated on launching successful brands such as Hendrick’s Gin and The Kraken.

Butterfly Cannon Tequila was designed by the Biggar and Leith team and launched in 2021. The super-premium spirit is crafted using 7 to 8-year-old agaves that are turned into the precious spirit using traditional methods: the hearts of the plant are cooked in steam ovens, mashed, fermented, and distilled. Bottled at 80 proof, the lineup consists of 3 expressions: the Blue, Rosa, and the Cristalino, which differs from the standard threesome of blanco, reposado, and añejo offerings. “We created The Butterfly Cannon Tequila to make you rethink the Tequila category, making it an approachable Tequila designed for mixability,” says Gladstone.

Named after the migration of US butterflies to Mexico, the tequila is produced in Mexico at Destiladora del Valle de Tequila.
