Color: Dark amberAroma: Intense cooked agave and spice, toasted oak and nutty notesTaste: Very smooth with cooked agave and dried fruitFinish: Smooth, creamy finish
The bouquet features wonderful aromas of caramel, cream, pastry dough and nutmeg with a background hint of honeyed peanuts. Entry is spicy and full-bodied; the midpalate displays a trace of vanillin that supports the more vibrant flavors of brine, salt, green vegetable and green pepper. Finishes clean, a touch smoky and delicately spiced. A classic añejo Tequila. Delicious.— P.P. (2/1/2009) — 96-100
Sweet and well-balanced with baked tropical fruits, vanilla, caramel, baking spices and candied coconut. Touch of slat and black olive on the robust finish.
Technical Notes 40% alcohol Since 1962, Herradura has been proud to offer this delicious aged tequila. Barrelling for two years in oak (twice as long as suggested by the category standards) gives it both a deep amber color and complex taste of cooked agave and dried fruit.
