In Summary

Herradura Selección Suprema is one of Mexico’s most respected ultra-premium Extra Añejo Tequilas, representing the pinnacle of the Herradura portfolio. First introduced in 1995, it was among the earliest Extra Añejo expressions ever released and helped define the luxury tequila category.

Produced entirely from 100% estate-grown Blue Weber agave, Selección Suprema is matured for an impressive 49 months, significantly longer than the minimum ageing requirement for Extra Añejo tequila. This extended maturation develops extraordinary richness, depth, and smoothness while retaining the soul of the agave.

The result is an exceptionally elegant sipping tequila—complex enough for whisky and cognac enthusiasts while remaining unmistakably tequila at heart.

Production Notes

Unlike many modern tequilas, Herradura continues to use traditional methods including:

• Naturally fermented agave juice
• Slow cooking of agave
• Copper pot distillation
• Extended maturation in American oak barrels

The long ageing period contributes luxurious texture and remarkable complexity without overwhelming the agave character.
