Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

Herradura Ultra Añejo 750ml offers a smooth, velvety sip that feels right at home during celebratory evenings or intimate gatherings. With an ABV of 40%, this tequila is crafted in Mexico using a blend of aged añejo and extra añejo tequilas, then filtered to achieve its crystal-clear appearance while retaining rich complexity. The meticulous production process highlights Herradura’s commitment to quality and tradition.

On the palate, Herradura Ultra Añejo reveals notes of cooked agave, caramel, vanilla, and subtle dried fruit layered with hints of toasted oak. These flavors create a luxurious pairing with dark chocolate, enhancing the cocoa’s depth and sweetness. When enjoyed alongside grilled steak, the tequila’s smoothness and gentle spice complement the meat’s charred richness for an elevated dining experience.
