Hornitos Black Barrel Tequila takes a premium aged Añejo tequila and then ages it two more times in traditional whiskey ways to deliver a superior tequila with complex whiskey notes. Award winning Hornitos Black Barrel is redefining the tequila experience.

This 100% pure agave tequila aged for 12 months in specialty toasted oak barrels to create a premium Añejo tequila. It is then moved into deep charred barrels for four months, where it starts to pick up whiskey notes. The third aging takes place when the liquid is transferred to toasted oak barrels for an additional two months to instill a smooth whiskey finish.

JUNE 2014 Insider Pick from Adele Shaw, Portfolio Manager for Spirits, Fortified, Fruit, South African and Asian Wines: "For those who love whisky and tequila this product is a definite must buy.  What makes it different from most Anejo tequilas is the extra wood aging. They start with 100% pure agave tequila and age it for 12 months in specially toasted oak barrels to create a premium Añejo tequila. It is then moved into deep charred barrels for 4 months, where it starts to pick up whiskey notes. The third aging takes place when the liquid is transferred to toasted oak barrels for 2 additional months to instill a smooth whiskey finish. This tequila is great straight –very smooth and approachable."
