Herradura Tequila is known for its history of innovation. This añejo tequila starts with 100% blue agaves that are cooked, fermented, and distilled using traditional methods.

About Herradura Legend Añejo Tequila
Having invented the reposado and extra añejo categories, it’s natural that Tequila Herradura is at the forefront when it comes to innovation. Herradura Legend Añejo Tequila is another first of its kind. It starts with the finest 100% blue Weber agaves that are fermented naturally and distilled twice in stainless steel pot stills. Then, it gets interesting, as the tequila matures for 12 months in heavily charred, new American white oak casks. These casks have special, deep grooves, that grant the spirit more contact with the oak, resulting in a well-aged tequila with a rich, deep amber hue, and velvety smoothness. Herradura Legend is best enjoyed in a flute glass, where the agave and oak notes get a chance to truly shine.

About Tequila Herradura
Dating back to 1870, Casa Herradura is located in Jalisco, Mexico ― the birthplace of tequila. The historic producer of the famous Mexican spirit has close ties with the history of tequila itself, having been the first to produce reposado and extra añejo expressions. Today, Casa Herradura crafts some of the finest estate-bottled tequilas in the region. Located in the small town of Amatitàn, they distill their spirits from mature blue Weber agaves. The piñas (hearts) of the plants are harvested and steamed in clay ovens for 26 hours. Then, they are milled, extracting their sugary juice. The juice or “mosto” is then left to ferment naturally in tanks, the natural airborne yeasts from the surrounding fruit trees turning the sugars into alcohol over a period of 4 days. Afterwards, the fermented juice is distilled twice in stainless steel pot stills, matured in American white oak, and bottled right there on the estate. Today, they offer a wide range of tequila, ranging from the unaged Silver to double-barreled and wonderfully mature extra añejo expressions.
