Craftsmanship & Story

Casa Herradura, founded in 1870, is celebrated for introducing the world’s first Reposado and Extra Añejo tequilas. Legend continues this tradition of innovation by maturing in heavily charred new American oak, a technique rarely used in tequila, producing profound flavour and colour. Each bottle is crafted at Hacienda San José del Refugio, the last working tequila hacienda on earth, symbolising both the artistry of Mexican heritage and Herradura’s commitment to excellence.
