Herradura Reposado Premium Tequila 750ml
Tequila
Description
Casa Herradura, founded in 1870 in Amatitán, Jalisco, is one of Mexico’s most historic tequila producers. The distillery lies in the Tequila Valley, an area known for its volcanic soils and ideal climate for growing blue Weber agave. These natural conditions contribute to the earthy, rich agave character often associated with tequilas from this region.
Herradura Reposado Premium Tequila holds an important place in tequila history. Introduced in 1974, it was one of the first tequilas to popularise the reposado style, where the spirit is rested in oak barrels to soften and develop complexity.
The tequila is made from 100% blue Weber agave, which is slow roasted in traditional clay ovens before fermentation and double distillation. It is then matured for 11 months in American white oak barrels - significantly longer than the two-month minimum required for reposado tequila. This extended ageing adds depth while maintaining the natural agave freshness.
Appearance:
Warm golden straw with bright amber reflections from oak maturation.
Nose:
Aromatic notes of cooked agave and vanilla lead the nose, followed by hints of toasted oak, honey and gentle spice.
Palate:
Smooth and rounded with flavours of sweet agave, caramel and light oak. Subtle notes of buttered toast, citrus and baking spice add complexity.
Finish:
Medium-long and warming with lingering vanilla, agave sweetness and soft oak spice.
