Distiller Notes
Wine Enthusiast Top 100 Sprits of 2022
Selección Suprema de Herradura is the finest expression of tequila there is and the very first Extra Anejo expression in the world. Selección Suprema is made from 100% agave and produced following time-honored techniques, that elevate the craft of premium tequila making to heights not found anywhere else. To achieve the perfect balance of cooked agave, rich vanilla, oak and dried citrus fruit, Selección Suprema matures in American white oak barrels for an industry-leading 49 months. The reward is well worth the wait. With over 41 awards including 25 gold medals since 2006, we recommend savoring the subtly-sweet aftertaste of the exceptionally smooth and complex seleccion suprema, neat.
Dark amber drawn from the oak barrels that Suprema is aged in for more than four years. Unexpected aromas of intense cooked agave, spices, and floral notes. Delightfully complex but balanced. Cooked agave married with rich vanilla, oak, and dried fruit.

Vanilla, almond and baking spice aromas entice. The silky palate opens with vegetal jalapeño and bell pepper, sliding into a long, honeyed finish sprinkled with fiery cayenne, cinnamon and clove. Aged 49 months.
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.
