Herradura uses the traditional process of harvesting the 100% Blue Weber Agave from the volcanic lowland region around Amatitian. The agave is then stacked in clay ovens and steamed for at least 26 hours. Once the pinas are cooked, they are crushed to extract the sugary juice, or "mosto", which is then moved into tanks for the natural fermentation process. The final step was the barrelling, which took place in November of 2012.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Cooked agave with a solid flavor of apple, caramel, and pitted fruit.
Palate: A blend of citrus, roasted coffee, sweet pear, roasted almond, orange, rosemary, clove, agave syrup, sweet coconut, chocolate, and anise.
Finish: A very complex flavor and lingering.

Casa Herradura, one of the Mexico’s most historic, renowned, oldest distilleries in the heart of the agave fields of Jalisco, is in the heart of the Amatitán Village, where tequila has been produced by hand for more than 150 years.
Tequila Herradura’s long-standing legacy of craftsmanship dates back to 1870, at Casa Herradura. With a history as rich as the country itself, Casa Herradura is nothing short of extraordinary.
Based in Amatitán, Jalisco, Mexico, Herradura began its life in 1870 with Félix López, who began as the distillery administrator. In 1870, López took over the distillery and registered it as a tequila producer under the name Hacienda San José del Refugio, and built a facility that remained in use until 1963. López died in 1878 and his wife Carmen Rosales took over the business with her brother. Later, the business was inherited by their son Aurelio López, who gave the distillery the name Herradura, meaning ‘horseshoe’ in Spanish, after a horseshoe was found in the agave fields and kept for luck.
In the 1920s the Cristero War broke out, and both Aurelio and his sister were sympathisers. Both siblings escaped military force, but Aurelio never returned. The business was handed to Aurelio’s cousin, David Rosales. In 1928, he registered the Herradura brand in Mexico City with a horseshoe as its logo. The brand claims to have introduced the first reposado tequila in 1974.
In 2004, Herradura bought back foreign owned shares, making the company 100% Mexican owned again. Though the business remained in the family for over 125 years, in 2007 all assets of the company were sold for $776 million to Brown-Forman. The facilities are still based in Amatitán, and it now boasts the Tequila Express train, which arrives there from Guadalajara.
