Herradura Anejo - in GP

Volume: 0.7 litres | Alcohol content: 40%

Special Features:

Just over two years of maturation shape Herradura Añejo: it spends 25 months in American white oak casks. Made from 100% blue Weber agave, it combines the flavour of slowly cooked agave with mature wood, toasted almonds and spices. Its dark amber colour complements this character.

Casa Herradura introduced this Añejo in 1962. It can be enjoyed neat or in cocktails such as a Tequila Manhattan. This version contains a 0.7-litre bottle at 40% in red gift packaging.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Intense agave on the nose is accompanied by toasted oak, candied nuts, cinnamon and citrus notes. Delicate floral accents complement the spicy aromas.
• Palate: The tequila is smooth on the palate. Cooked agave, toasted oak and dried fruit combine with rich, nutty caramel. Pineapple and orange add delicate fruity accents.
• Finish: The medium-length finish is creamy and meltingly smooth. Sweetness and warm baking spices linger.

Distillery/Bottler:

Casa Herradura was officially founded in 1870 in Amatitán, in the Mexican state of Jalisco. The name Herradura means horseshoe and has been used since 1928. The tequilas are still produced and bottled on the estate today.

Ripe agaves are harvested by hand. Their hearts are steam-cooked in clay ovens for 26 hours and left to cool before milling. Wild yeasts from the surroundings of the estate ferment the extracted agave juice in open tanks over three days. Double distillation follows. This combination of slow cooking, natural fermentation and distillation provides the foundation for subsequent cask maturation.
