Exodo Tequila was brought to life in early 2011 on the back roads of Guanajuato Mexico, at the house of a good friend Sergio and Margarita Rivera, in Mexico. After what seemed like many years of searching for the right business concept, Mr. Hector was introduced to a very different type of tequila, nothing like he experienced in the United States before for a tequila with no brand name, but good enough quality to serve at the Baptist party for young Julio Raso that turned one year old that day too. Young Julio dad called the tequila Julio Raso in honor to his son, he tasted the tequila and asked to bring couple of bottles back to the States, he called a few friends over for dinner and introduced them to the tequila, to his surprise everyone asked what was the brand name. He told them that it has no name yet, but at that moment the idea came alive to create his own brand of tequila and import to the U.S. That s how the business idea was brought to life. After that dinner at his house, many trips had been made to Mexico and Puerto Rico to learn the secrets from Bacardi Rum. The beginning of the Exodo Road was long, confusing and full of many, many disappointments and dangers road trips, since then he bought the original formula of Cabo Wabo from Sammy Hagar and started The Exodo Spirits Company. Also, the Exodo Road started late 2011 with original Master Distiller from Cabo Wabo (Mr. Ramirez and Mr. Gonzales) two good friends and fantastic tequila makers that have been involved in the industry since 1957. Although, some of the original players have changed since the birth and rise of Cabo Wabo FORMULA NOM1467 and now Exodo NOM1467 Formula is the same for the CORE tequilas, it continues to grow each day hand made and supervised by a well-established professionals and employees with deep roots on the highland fields of Jalisco Mexico. Since 2011 Exodo has produced it s very own Exodo Silver, Reposado and Añejo entrenched in history and firmly rooted in its origin. If this isn t enough, according to Aztec legend, tequila was considered a gift from the Gods. So grab a shot of this holy liquid. The blend of geography and human touch are unique to the region, and is essential to tequila production. 4

Exodo Tequila is known by its smooth, no after-burn sensation flavors sustaining its respect of the long-standing tequila traditions that made it the drink of choice of the wise and venerated mystics. Mr. Hector s say is- we do not cut corners or sacrifice quality over quantity like other brands. Exodo Tequila is nothing less than 100% pure blue Weber Agave from the Highlands of beautiful Jalisco. Exodo Tequila is originally created with stickler for authenticity and handcrafted quality; award-winning brand 2014-2015 comes in three core marquees Silver, Reposado, and Añejo. It also has a line of silver- flavored tequilas peach and watermelon and tequila liqueurs. Exodo is acknowledged as one of the finest Clearly Different tequilas in the market today. TARGET MARKETS.
