About Tequila

You may be saying “I don’t like tequila.” Are you basing this on some bad experiences from the past when you had no idea what you were ordering or what you were being served? If you’ve never sipped fine 100% agave, handcrafted tequila, you have no idea what you’re missing!

Tequila is a refined spirit that takes a lot of effort to manufacture and rivals the top bourbons and cognacs.  Unlike wine, which has an annual harvest, it takes 7 to 12 years to cultivate the plant that is used to produce tequila. Then add distillation and aging, and you’ll find the entire process as elaborate and painstaking as making brandy, rum, or vodka.

Try Herradura

With about two thousand registered brands on the market, it can be a tough call to source the best smoothest tequilas to sample, but here are a few of our recommendations.

Tequila Herradura is a distiller located in Amatitán, Jalisco, Mexico. It was founded in 1870 by Félix López, and the business remained in the family for over 125 years. The company makes other tequila products such as El Jimador, which is the best-selling tequila in Mexico. Tequila products sold under the Herradura name are 100% blue agave and include Blanco, Blanco Suave, Reposado, Antiguo, Añejo, Selección Suprema, and Ultra Añejo.

This premium brand offers a unique tasting experience due to the aging process they use, particularly its Reposado offering. The agave hearts are roasted in traditional clay ovens and fermented naturally with native wild yeasts. After distillation, Herradura Reposado is aged in American oak barrels for 11 months to allow the flavors to mature. You will want a second sip!

Another delicious tasting spirit from Herradura is the Ultra Añejo Tequila.  It is created by blending 25 month-old añejo tequila with their Selección Suprema extra añejo which is aged in bourbon barrels. The color is then removed using a proprietary filtering system. It offers a hint of agave nectar that invites you to enjoy a tequila that goes “Beyond Smoothness.”
