Rich, velvety and beautifully balanced, Herradura Reposado is the original benchmark for the style—rested a full 11 months in charred American white oak for depth beyond industry norms. Warm agave richness meets vanilla, toasted wood and a gentle spice, finishing long, smooth and effortlessly elegant.

Cocktail Pairings
Amplify its oak-kissed agave in a Reposado Old Fashioned (agave nectar & bitters) or a Mexican Manhattan with sweet vermouth. For citrus refreshment, pour a Paloma or classic Margarita—reposado adds depth to lime and orange liqueur. Bright party serves like the Cantarito and a Spicy Paloma (jalapeño heat) showcase its fruit and spice.
Craftsmanship & Story
Since 1870, Casa Herradura has crafted tequila at the historic Hacienda San José del Refugio—one of Mexico’s last tequila-producing haciendas. Estate agaves are slow-cooked, naturally fermented with wild yeasts from the hacienda’s gardens, then double-distilled. Herradura pioneered both Reposado (1974) and Extra Añejo categories, defining modern tequila standards.
Special Features
The original Reposado, aged longer than the norm for a plush, polished profile. Natural fermentation and estate agave deliver layered aromatics, while extended resting imparts satin texture, vanilla warmth and refined spice—luxurious neat, yet resilient in cocktails.
