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.
In the 2020 vintage in Gevrey-Chambertin, yields were super low and temperatures were hotter than most Burgundian winemakers are accustomed. Many picked too late when the sugars were high and the fruit really ripe, but that was not the play. Still, Ann remained as cool in those hot temps as she did so many years ago in Napa, concentrating more on acid levels than sugars and picking at just the right time. This wine is absolutely singing – it’s an age-worthy beauty that should be even better in 4-7 years.
95 Points, Parker’s Wine Advocate – 94 Points,Wine Spectator
Robert Parker, Jr. gave it 95 points and called it “one of the finest Warre’s I’ve ever tasted” and “a profound example of Warre vintage port.” Additionally, “Tasters should take note of the wealth of peppery, licorice-scented and flavored raspberry and blackcurrant fruit. Look for it to be ready to drink in 10-12 years, and keep for 30+.”
90 Points, Wine Spectator
Domaine Jaume Vinsobres Altitude 420 is an old-vine Grenache-Syrah blend from vineyards planted in Les Collines at some of the highest points in the Rhône. The Jaumes have farmed these dizzying elevations at their estate in Vinsobres for 100+ years. The 2020 is one of his best yet, pristine and fresh, a bowl full of berried-up fruit yet with the tension and length that belies its humble price. Incredible bang for the buck, tailor-made for anyone’s house red, and a slam dunk for any kind of meat on the bone.
Basil Hayden’s Kentucky Straight Bourbon is one of those go-to entry level whiskies that you can always count on to deliver. A product of the Beam Distilling Co., the Kentucky Straight checks in at 80 Proof and has a robust, rich flavor that hits you in waves. Charred oak, with notes of honey, caramel and fresh baked bread flood the senses with a brown sugar dominant palate that also features creme brulee notes and a hint of pepper. The finish goes on for a while, and leaves lingering notes of dried fruit, and cocoa.
