Herradura is one of the truly iconic and most respected Tequila producers in the world. In operation since the 1870’s, they are the very last producing Hacienda in the world. They have constantly been at the forefront of innovation in the industry. While they may be best known for the bevy of critical accolades they’ve received for the distinctive flavor of their tequilas – they were the ones that introduced the world to the Reposado style.
I’m excited to announce that Herradura is continuing that tradition on innovation by working directly with me to craft a one-of-a-kind Tequila exclusively for us. First they threw open the doors and let me have the run of the barrel room. I tasted through over 20 barrels to find the perfect tasting profile for our experiment. That’s where we started.
Reposado (which means ‘rested’) is required by law to be aged in barrel for two months. Herradura takes it quite a bit further, letting their Reposado rest for a staggering 11 months. We did the same and then we took it even further – removing the Reposado from barrel and then rebarreling in a fresh bourbon barrel for another month.
If we had just let it sit, it’d technically be a 100% Blue Agave Anejo, but because of the extra treatment, we’ve got to label it as a Double Barrel Reserve.
This exclusive Herradura Nicholas Reserve Double Barrel is truly amazing. The extra wood and aging give it a rich amber color with notes of vanilla and butter on the nose. They also reduce the take from 240 to just 180 bottles. The palate features hints of vanilla, orange peel, cocoa nib and roasted coffee bean.

An absolute beauty. Perfect neat but versatile enough for the cocktail shaker!

Great by itself or with raw or grilled seafood.
The juice here is so pure and elegant, it tastes much more like a $80/bottle of Tequila than one going for half the price, but that’s why I love these single barrel deals so much. The value is insane. This Reposado spent just under 12 months in used bourbon barrels. Golden brown with fresh agave, oak & vanilla. Remarkably smooth finish. This is one of those oddball tequila’s that is good enough to just sip on the rocks but cheap enough to use to make one hell of a margarita.

“The 2018 Palmer is a legend in the making…This audacious Palmer was still revving its engines 48 hours after opening. There will never be another Palmer like this, sui generis. It was a massive risk. But by throwing caution to the wind, something extraordinary was born.” -100 points, Vinous
I was given fourteen samples to taste through, and found that the 5th sample was the winner. This one is not for the faint of heart. It was a tiny barrel of just 40 six-packs, but the quality here was out of the world. It checks in at 110 Proof (55% alc.) and has harmonious sweet and savory notes that dual throughout this super long and memorable finish. It’s worth selling less bottles to bring you one this good – you guys are going to absolutely love it.

“The 2020 Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is truly sensational. It begins with striking aromas of fresh blackberries, blueberries and dark plums that are laced with fresh spring florals, mocha, sweet exotic spices, graphite and gravel nuances all taking shape. The palate is full-bodied and displays a remarkable combination of power and elegance throughout. This is beautifully structured and extremely expressive, as it possesses outstanding depth and concentration all they way through the long, finessed finish. Year after year, the Columbia Valley Cabernet is one of the most impressive wines, and there is no exception here, as it combines all the wonderful qualities of the 2020 vintage from Quilceda Creek into one expression. This is fantastic already and readers will be in for a real treat, as this simply marvelous wine will continue to deliver the goods for years to come.”
