Distiller Notes
In honor of their 150th Anniversary, Herradura proudly presents Tequila Herradura Aniversario - a 100 month aged Extra Anejo. Made from time honored traditional methods, this tequila was aged the finest Blue Weber Agave for 100 months in American White Oak barrels creating the ultimate Extra Anejo expression representing 150 years of tequila making excellence.
Because of their great complexity, Anejo Tequilas are most often used as a substitute for Brandy or Whiskey in cocktails like the Manhattan or Old Fashioned. Anejo Tequilas must be aged in oak barrels for between one and three years, while Extra Anejo refers to any Tequila aged longer than three years. The prolonged contact with the oak barrel allows the wood to make a much stronger impression on the Tequila by adding toffee, caramel and vanilla to the sweet, spicy agave flavor profile.
