Herradura Selección Suprema Extra Añejo is the pinnacle of Casa Herradura’s artistry — an ultra-luxury tequila crafted with patience, devotion and heritage. Made from 100% estate-grown Blue Weber agave, harvested after a decade of maturation, it is aged for an unrivalled 49 months in American white oak barrels. Deep amber in colour, it reveals layers of caramel, toasted oak, cinnamon, rose and vanilla. Velvety and creamy on the palate, with elegant agave at its core, Selección Suprema is an extraordinary sipping experience — refined, indulgent and unforgettable.
Tasting Notes & Experience
On the nose, delicate boiled agave entwined with dried wood, cinnamon, rose petals and vanilla. The palate is luxuriously smooth: creamy caramel, toasted oak, chocolate and warm spice. A lingering, silken finish confirms its stature as one of the world’s most elegant extra añejos.

Cocktail Pairings
This exceptional tequila is best enjoyed neat, yet its complexity shines in refined, spirit-forward cocktails. An Extra Añejo Old Fashioned highlights its caramel and oak richness with agave syrup and bitters. A Tequila Manhattan lends sophistication with sweet vermouth and orange bitters. For celebratory evenings, an Añejo Espresso Martini layers its creamy chocolate and spice with espresso and cacao liqueur.
Craftsmanship & Story
Casa Herradura, founded in 1870, is the last tequila-producing hacienda in Mexico and the birthplace of both reposado and extra añejo tequila. Selección Suprema represents the house’s ultimate expression of craftsmanship. Each agave is estate-grown for 10 years before being slow-cooked in clay ovens, naturally fermented with wild yeasts from the hacienda, and distilled twice for clarity and depth. Rested for over four years in American white oak, it embodies the patience, heritage and innovation that define Herradura’s place in tequila history.
