Herradura — the apex of the Herradura range, aged 5 years in French oak barrels at Hacienda el Cuatro — one of Mexico's oldest continuously operating tequila estates, founded in 1870 — producing the most complex and age-developed expression from a distillery that pioneered the reposado tequila category in 1974.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCasa Herradura holds the distinction of being the first tequila producer to register and commercially introduce reposado tequila in 1974, creating a new category that now represents one of the largest segments of the tequila market. The Seleccion Suprema takes that aging philosophy to its extreme — 5 years in French oak, nearly double the 3-year minimum for extra añejo, in a handcrafted presentation befitting the estate's 150+ year history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrench oak produces different flavor compounds than the American white oak used in most tequila aging — more tannic, more mineral, with less vanilla dominance and more subtle stone fruit and dried flower character. At 5 years, these French oak characteristics have deeply integrated with the highland agave base.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rose petal, vanilla, citrus, French oak, subtle agave\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smooth, complex, vanilla, caramel, dried fruit, warming spice\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long, elegant, persistent oak and floral notes\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Casa Herradura, Hacienda el Cuatro, Amatitán, Jalisco, Mexico (est. 1870)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAgave:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Blue Weber, Amatitán Valley\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Extra Añejo Tequila\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 years in French oak barrels\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40%\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/woodencork.com\/collections\/extra-anejo\"\u003eextra añejo tequila at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWhat is Herradura's historical significance in tequila?\u003c\/strong\u003e Founded in 1870, Casa Herradura was the first producer to register and commercially introduce reposado tequila in 1974, creating the category.
