Herradura - Ultra Anejo Tequila
Herradura Description
Born in 1870, Casa Herradura, located at Hacienda San Jose del Refugio, is the last tequila-producing Hacienda on the planet. Within its ancient walls, we craft and estate-bottle some of the finest tequilas anyone has ever tasted. It is here that we invented the first reposado and extra añejo, forever changing the world of tequila. And it is here, from the small town of Amatitàn in the heart of Mexico’s tequila region, that we continue to set the standard for what’s to come.
With a history as rich as the country itself, Casa Herradura, located at Hacienda San Jose del Refugio – the last tequila-producing Hacienda on the planet – is nothing short of a national treasure.
Ultra Añejo Tequila
Beyond smooth. The crisp taste of Herradura Ultra starts with one of our finest añejos filtered to remove color and enhance smoothness. Prior to filtering, a subtle hint of pure agave nectar is added giving Ultra subtle notes of cooked agave, caramel, and honey with toasted almonds and a finish that is beyond smooth.
Wine Enthusiast: 95 Points
This unusual crystal-clear añejo, launched in June 2015, seems to be aiming for the premium vodka nightclub crowd. The bottling mixes añejo with extra añejo, plus a hint of agave nectar. Tequila purists likely won't approve, but the subtle coconut-pineapple-vanilla flavor profile—more drying and astringent than rum or vodka—seems ideal for mixing tropical cocktails and is addictive to sip.

Ultimate Spirits Challenge
Pouring a brilliant clear color, this tequila has decadent flavors of vanilla been gelato, roasted sweet oregano, and key lime pie. The palate’s density of sweet fruit and pastry notes is well tempered but hint of spicy jalapeno jam.
