Herradura Ultra, check out the Sound of Smoothness.
Built in 1870, Casa Herradura, located at Hacienda San Jose del Refugio in the heart of Mexico’s tequila region, is the last tequila-producing Hacienda on the planet. Distilling 150 years of tequila craft into all its products, we are delighted to finally bring this Herradura Ultra to the Cayman Islands this month. This special tequila was created to be ‘beyond smooth’. Herradura uses one of its finest añejos or aged tequilas, adds a subtle hint of pure agave nectar and filters it to remove all colour. The result is an extremely smooth beverage with a broad palate of caramel, honey and toasted nuts flavours. Reviewers report these subtle aromas, plus plenty of vanilla flavours, a sweetness to balance everything out and a satisfying finish. Not your normal shot of fire water to grimace through with the aid of a wedge of lime.
Premium tequila is wildly popular, just as Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and a host of other high-profile celebrities who have invested in their beverage of choice in the last number of years. High quality tequila is a wonderful sipping beverage, you should expect an aromatic and flavourful cocktail in a glass. If you’re ready to fall in a love with an authentic Mexican tequila, then head straight for Herradura Ultra new on island now.
Not that you must keep it straight, this is a tequila that loves to mix.
