Herradura Tequila

Herradura Tequila is a brand of tequila that is produced in the town of Amatitán, Jalisco, Mexico. It is one of the oldest and most respected tequila brands in the world, with a history dating back to 1870.

Herradura Tequila is made from 100% blue weber agave, which is grown in the highlands of Jalisco. The agave is harvested and then cooked in traditional brick ovens for 26 hours, which gives the tequila a unique flavor profile. The cooked agave is then crushed using a tahona, a large stone wheel that is pulled by a mule, which helps to extract the agave juice.

The agave juice is then fermented using natural yeast, which gives Herradura Tequila its distinctive taste. After fermentation, the tequila is double-distilled in copper stills to create a smooth, clean flavor.

Herradura Tequila is available in several different varieties, including Blanco, Reposado, Anejo, and Ultra Anejo. The Blanco is unaged and has a fresh, citrusy flavor, while the Reposado is aged for 11 months in oak barrels and has a smooth, slightly sweet flavor with notes of vanilla and caramel. The Anejo is aged for at least two years in oak barrels and has a complex, rich flavor with notes of oak, chocolate, and coffee. The Ultra Anejo is aged for up to four years and has a deep, dark color and a smooth, velvety texture.
