A brilliantly-aged Añejo Tequila from the masters as Herradura.
Tequila Herradura is a legendary Tequila producer celebrating one hundred and fifty years. Félix López acquired the distillery from Feliciano Romo in 1870. It remained a family-owned and operated business for more than one hundred and twenty-five years and was seminal in the creation of the reposado and Añejo styles. It has since become a part of Brown-Forman where it is the foundation of their Tequila production. In addition to their own super-premium brand, Located in Amatitán, Jalisco, Mexico, they produce several other brands, including El Jimador — the biggest-selling Tequila in Mexico — among others.
We all already now that Herradura produces high-quality Tequila, right? Well, Herradura Tequila Añejo is ample evidence of that. Let’s make that case starting with a single statistic.
To legally qualify as an Añejo, a Tequila must be aged a minimum of twelve months. That’s why you see a lot of really good Tequilas aged in the twelve to fourteen month range. But Herradura Tequila Añejo is aged more than twice as long as it needs to be — a full twenty-five months in American white oak. Want more proof? Over the last fifteen years it has won fifty-three major industry awards, with eighteen of them Gold Medals. That, my friends, is quality and consistency.
