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.

Great by itself or with raw or grilled seafood.
This is my third private barrel of Bourbon that I sourced from Bulleit and my first since 2022. Believe you me, they give you a ton (and I mean a ton) of samples to go through to make up for lost time. The winning combo is something people are going to love. Allow me to introduce you to Barrel #5-B3-82. It’s smooth and layered, with a full creamy mouthfeel and manages to sneak in at 104 Proof. On the nose, I get fresh cut oak, vanilla and brown butter. On the palate, freshly baked banana bread, burnt orange and graham cracker.
Bulleit isn’t usually one to come out with too many new or limited releases, but the ‘Frontier’ Limited Release bucks that trend. This American Single Malt was made with 100% malted barley, aged in new American spiced oak casks, and bottled at 43% alcohol. It hits with notes of freshly baked pumpernickel bread, candied orange, dried fruits, and maple syrup. She’s a beauty – just wish I had more to sell!
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.
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.
