Herradura

Casa Herradura was founded in 1870 and since the 19th century has been one of the most famous tequila producers in the Mexican state of Amatitán, Jalisco.

Within its walls, some of the finest tequilas ever tasted are produced and bottled. It was here that the first reposado and extra añejo were invented, changing the world of tequila forever. And it is here, in the small town of Amatitàn in the heart of Mexico's tequila region, that they continue to set the standards for what's to come.

With a history as rich as the country itself, Casa Herradura, located in the Mexican state of Jalisco - the birthplace of tequila - is nothing short of a national treasure.

Agave has been prepared in the original hand-built clay ovens for nearly a century. These traditional kilns have rendered the nuances of the agave's flavour profile, cementing its place in Tequila Herradura's history.

For more than a century, fresh agave juice was collected from the tahona wheel and poured into large fermentation tanks, where it was mixed with water from the underground tap.
