Description

Herradura Tequila Añejo is an exquisite, handcrafted premium tequila that is prized for its exceptional quality and depth. Made from 100% blue Weber agave, this añejo tequila is matured for at least 25 months in American white oak barrels – significantly longer than the statutory minimum storage period of one year. This extended ageing process gives it an impressive complexity with rich flavours of vanilla, caramel and spices that blend harmoniously with the characteristic agave notes.

The Casa Herradura distillery, founded in 1870, is one of the most traditional tequila producers in Mexico and is known for its sustainable and authentic production methods. Herradura Añejo is characterised by its exceptional balance between sweetness, spice and woody notes and offers a full-bodied, smooth mouthfeel. The elegant presentation in a high-quality gift box (GB) makes it the ideal choice for connoisseurs and lovers of mature spirits.
