Herradura Reposado Tequila

Herradura Reposado is aged 11 months in American oak barrels — nearly six times the two-month minimum for reposado tequila — at Hacienda el Cuatro in Amatitán, where Casa Herradura invented and registered the reposado category in 1974, producing the lemon, honey, citrus, and warm brown spice character that earned it the Gold World Champion designation.The 11-month aging period is the defining production decision for Herradura Reposado: at two months (the legal minimum), a reposado is barely touched by oak. At 11 months, the American oak has had nearly a full year to impart vanilla, caramel, and warm spice to the highland agave base while the estate’s 150-year production tradition ensures the agave character — the grass, citrus, and honey notes — remains prominent underneath. Casa Herradura pioneered the reposado concept, and the Reposado flagship expression reflects that philosophy: maximum time in barrel for maximum complexity without pushing into añejo territory.Tasting Notes
