One of Mexico’s most historic and renowned tequila producers, Casa Herradura has been hand harvesting, crafting and estate bottling fine artisanal tequilas in the small town of Amatitián, Jalisco, since 1870. Herradura Reposado—the world’s first-ever Reposado tequila, unveiled in 1974 and aged for eleven months in charred American White Oak barrels (well beyond industry standards).
Reposado isn’t just seasonally appropriate—it’s seasonally elevated. It shines in summer staples like the Paloma and Siesta, which traditionally use Reposado thanks to its ability to cut through citrus and soda with depth and finish. Even in the summer heat, Herradura Reposado stays smooth and palatable, adding oak-aged depth to any cocktail moment, from happy hour to sunset.
