From the Brown-Forman/Herradura giant distillery (NOM 1119), this is my first shot at any Antiguo variety. I'm not the #1 fan of Herradura, but I'm always willing to try something new.
Originally developed in 1924 and served exclusively to guests at Casa Herradura's Hacienda San Jose del Refugio, Antiguo Tequila was released throughout Mexico in 1995 to commemorate Casa Herradura's 125th anniversary. As of last year, Antiguo is availabl
Herradura has launched a new line of 100% agave tequila, Antiguo.
Aroma of agave and a hint of solvent, probably from the diffuser. Flavor of alcohol and not much else... fortunately. Not much of a finish.
