Herradura Tequila Makes a Bold Claim
Herradura Tequila has been around on the market since 1964, and today the company claims to be the largest holder of barrels in all of Mexico and one of the leading marketers of aged tequilas in the world. The company has five different brands of tequila, ranging from the Herradura Silver (aged for 40 days and perfect for margaritas), up to the Herradura Hacienda del Cristero (pure blanco and exceptionally smooth).
The top of the range is the Herradura Seleccion Suprema, deep amber in color, and aged in French Oak for four years, a highly complex tequila that the producers claim is the best of the world. Supporters of Don Julio Tequila might have something to say about that, but a recent tasting confirmed its quality to this writer.
It remains the only tequila to be 100% Estate bottled, and also the only tequila allowed putting “natural” on the label.
A recent effort to expand their presence in the USA market has seen the brand selling for about $13 a shot in the hot tequila bars of Hollywood.
