Mexico-based Casa Herradura’s tequila brand Tequila Herradura is set to release its second in a series of small-batch tequilas, Coleccion de la Casa, Reserva 2013 – Cognac Cask Finish Reposado.
The new tequila has been put through a double maturation process in two different types of oak casks - American and French.
Crafted by Master Distiller Maria Teresa Lara, Coleccion de la Casa, Reserva 2013 - Cognac Cask Finish Reposado is made using conventional production methods and a proprietary fermentation from naturally-occurring wild yeast.
Tequila Herradura master distiller Maria Teresa Lara said, "The barrel is a key ingredient in the final aging process of tequila and through cask-finishing our tequila in two different types of woods, we are able to add a new layer of flavor and aroma and create a superb and multi-dimensional tequila."
Coleccion de la Casa, Reserva 2013 - Cognac Cask Finish Reposado will be available across the US at fine wine and spirits stores in November.
The 750ml bottles will be sold at a suggested retail price of $89.99. A limited quantity will also be available in Mexico, Canada, Australia and El Salvador.
