Craftsmanship & Story

Founded in 1870, Casa Herradura crafts tequila at the historic Hacienda San José del Refugio—one of Mexico’s last tequila-producing haciendas. Estate-grown agaves are slow-cooked, naturally fermented with wild yeasts from the hacienda’s gardens, then double-distilled and gently rested. Herradura pioneered the world’s first Reposado and Extra Añejo, setting benchmarks for modern tequila.

Special Features

Plata with a difference: 45-day barrel rest adds satin texture and vanilla-honey nuance while preserving blanco brightness. Estate-grown agave and natural fermentation deliver layered aromatics; meticulous resting and blending create a luxurious, cocktail-ready profile that still shines neat.
