Description
PREPARATION
Herradura Añejo tequila is made from the Tequilana Weber blue agave plants that surround Casa Herradura, in the lowland volcanic regions around Amatitán. Once ripe, the jimadores harvest the agave, cutting the leaves as close to the heart of the plant as possible to prevent them from turning bitter. Pineapples are slowly cooked for up to 26 hours to perfectly convert starches into sugars. Before being ground twice, the agave is left to cool in the ovens for nine hours. The extracted must is extremely sweet and rich. Through a 100% natural fermentation process, the yeast and wort are combined inside the tank for three days. It is distilled twice to remove the head and tail and only the best alcohol is retained to deliver a complex flavored product. Even traditional stills contribute to the superior flavor profile of the final product. Tequila Herradura is aged in American white oak barrels for 25 months. The famous Horseshoe emblem is carefully applied by hand to each bottle and meticulously inspected.
