Sweet, very fruity - there's almost a hint of either strawberry or cherry in there somewhere. There's this kind of buttery smoothness over everything that continues throughout the whole experience. VERY pleasant. Since 2007, the brand has slowly become more internationally recognized. When Brown-Forman bought it, the brand was sold in fifty-three countries. Today, it is sold in 136 countries through the Brown-Forman network in Europe, South America, North America, and Asia. [12] [13] Its market share in the United States and other countries has been growing as well. [9] Facilities [ edit ] Traditional oven in which the agave heart is baked at the Herradura tequila factory in Amatitán between Guadalajara and Tequila, Jalisco, Mexico I've no idea how this compares to the mixto version (which I have no desire to try unless by some miracle it is actually better than this), but I can say that it walks all over the other mixtos I've tried. What truly sets this blanco tequila apart from rival brands is its smoothness. Despite not being aged, El Jimador Blanco is as smooth and easy to drink as another distiller’s reposado variant and mixes well. On The Nosea b c d e "Crece Tequila Herradura" [Tequila Herradura grows]. Mural (in Spanish). Guadalajara. August 28, 2008. p.6. This authentic Mexican distillery prides itself on producing three stunning tequilas from the Blue agave, a Blanco, Reposado and Añejo. Each tequila style varies in taste, texture, and colour, mainly due to ageing.

Initial Taste: A semi oily mouth feel, its sweet upon entry with very low bitterness. Initial taste was woody agave. Reposado means rested – neither too long nor brief. Made from 100% pure agave, Tequila el Jimador Reposado is aged two months to its moment of maturity, el Jimador is rewarded by all of Mexico as its #1 tequila. a b c "Apuesta Herradura a Jalisco" [Herradura betsw on Jalisco]. Mural (in Spanish). Guadalajara. August 23, 2009. p.6.The hacienda passed into the hand of Aurelio's cousin David Rosales, who kept the tequila 100% agave despite the trend towards blending to cut costs. In 1928, he registered the Herradura brand in Mexico City with a horseshoe as its logo. María de Jesús was able to return to Herradura and distinguished herself with charitable works to the town of Amatitán, including the building of wells in an area with little water. [3] It was Aurelio who would give the distillery its lasting name of Herradura, named after a horseshoe that he found on the property sometime around 1900. Then, the Cristero War broke out in Mexico in 1926, a conflict where secular factions within Mexico sought to eliminate the power of the Catholic church and impose an atheist state. During this, Aurelio provided financial and material support to the Catholics and, in response, the distillery was raided and he was forced with his family into exile, leaving his cousin Don David in charge of the facility. It was David who resisted following the trend in the 1920’s of producing inferior “mixto” tequila, insisting that Herradura always remain 100% blue agave based. A very slight - but not unpleasant - bitterness/sourness comes through, less so when warmed up somewhat; this is coupled with a slightly diminished continuation of the initial taste, albeit without the fruit. There is a hint of wood in there, with some obvious cooked agave - you can taste the 'cookedness' (struggling to put this into words) of it. There's some mild spice in there too, although I don't find the cinnamon that others have. I do get the butterscotchiness though; it's a very smooth feel.

Another important brand is el Jimador, launched in 1994 and named after those who harvest agave plants. [11] el Jimador is 100% agave tequila. [12] It is currently the best-selling tequila in Mexico, with a twelve percent market share. [12] [13] Look out for faint spice and peppery notes in between the swirl of agave flavours. This finish is smooth, soft, and dangerously inviting. Best Served El Jimador offers a diverse menu that includes traditional tacos, burritos, enchiladas, even seafood and steaks that have that extra touch that only Mexican food has.Like other El Jimador tequilas, Blanco uses only pure Weber blue agave. These notes are present throughout the spirit and are joined on the nose with fresh citrus, vegetal, and light wood aromas.

Taste: Sweet vanilla and caramel, woody, with hints of cedar, earth, soft spices, cassia and vegetal agave Pretty boring bottle. Nothing of note here, although the fact that it's a tall bottle means it's easier to find in our crowded liquor cabinet :P Herradura, in 2013 under the sub-label "Colección de la Casa," released in limited areas (Mexico, United States, El Salvador, and Australia), two new Reposado Tequilas partially aged in non-traditional barrels.
