Casa Herradura has been producing tequila since 1870 at its historic hacienda in Amatitán, Jalisco, and it remains one of Mexico’s most respected and traditional distilleries. Known for being a pioneer — it was among the first to introduce reposado tequila in the 1970s — Herradura continues to set standards for authenticity and craftsmanship. Every step of production, from harvesting agave to bottling, takes place on the estate, preserving a sense of heritage and control over quality.

Herradura Añejo, first released in 1962, was one of the earliest añejo tequilas brought to market, helping to define what aged tequila could be. Crafted from 100% blue Weber agave, it spends 25 months in American oak barrels, nearly twice the industry standard for añejo. This extended aging results in a tequila with depth, richness, and character that bridges the gap between traditional tequila vibrancy and the smooth complexity often associated with fine whiskies.

The brand positions Herradura Añejo as both classic and elevated: a tequila for those who appreciate history and craftsmanship, but who also want the refinement that comes with careful aging. The design of the bottle reflects this — bold, premium, and instantly recognizable, with the signature horseshoe (“herradura”) symbol that represents luck and tradition.

By staying true to its origins while continuously pushing tequila forward, Herradura has created a spirit that stands as a benchmark in the category. Herradura Añejo remains a go-to for enthusiasts and bartenders alike who want an authentic expression of Mexico’s tequila-making heritage with an added layer of sophistication.
