Herradura - Tequila Selección Suprema (750ml)

Selección Suprema de Herradura is the finest expression of tequila there is and the very first Extra Anejo expression in the world. Selección Suprema is made from 100% agave and produced following time-honored techniques, that elevate the craft of premium tequila making to heights not found anywhere else. To achieve the perfect balance of cooked agave, rich vanilla, oak and dried citrus fruit, Selección Suprema matures in American white oak barrels for an industry-leading 49 months. The reward is well worth the wait. With over 41 awards including 25 gold medals since 2006, we recommend savoring the subtly-sweet aftertaste of the exceptionally smooth and complex seleccion surprema, neat.

With every sip the tequilia tells the story of its maturity through hints of dried wood, cinnamon, rose petals and vanilla. It is a remarkably refined experience worth every minute, day and month until its arrival in your glass.

The initial nosing passes find resiny, textile-like notes; following aeration time an oaky sweetness emerges in the aromatic form of malted milk and pastry dough. Entry is slightly fat, with an oaky creaminess; the midpalate offers earthy tastes of egg cream, peppery spice, jalape?o pepper, dill leaf and nutmeg. Concludes on an off-dry note that?s nicely peppery and woody. Score: 90-95. February 01, 2009.
