About this item
Remarkably Refined. Selección Suprema de Herradura is an extraordinarily unique expression of tequila.

The perfect notes of rich vanilla and dried fruit, leaves you with a soft and creamy finish. Each taste of Selección Suprema offers a unique experience for every tequila aficionado. No wonder it has received the most valued accolades from around the globe.
Herradura Seleccion Suprema Extra Añejo Tequila is crafted using agave harvested exclusively from the Casa Herradura estate. Once the agave have been harvested, the heart of the plant (the piña) is stripped away from its leaves using a special knife called a coa and cooked for approximately 26 hours in ovens made of stone and brick. During this cooking process, the once-white piñas turn a deep orange color and reveal an incredibly sweet and intense aroma. (The piñas are so sweet that chunks of cooked agave are often sold as candy in the street markets of Jalisco). Once the piñas have been cooked, they are crushed and then fermented for up to seven days using natural, air-borne yeasts. Then, the wash is twice distilled and the tequila is matured for four years in American white oak casks that were formerly used to mature Kentucky bourbon. As a result of this extra-long aging process, the tequila has an aroma of dark vanilla, rose petals, cinnamon and intense citrus. Complex notes of baked apples, pineapples, citrus, vanilla pods and caramel are exposed on the palate, and give way to a creamy finish that has touches of lingering spices.
