Flecha Azul was co-founded by Mexican entrepreneur Aaron Marquez and Mexican-American professional golfer Abraham Unser, who launched the product in 2020. Wahlberg became a major investor in the company in 2022.
Produced in Jalisco, Mexico, the company offers blanco, reposado and three añejo tequila options.
Different varieties of tequila are made by aging the alcohol for different periods of time. Blanco varieties are usually not aged or aged for less than 60 days, reposado varieties are aged between two and 12 months, and añejo tequilas are aged for more than a year.
Flecha Azul’s blanco tequila is $54.99 a bottle with extra añejo for $307.99. More information can be found on his website.
