Distiller of the Year - Casa Herradura
Wine Enthusiast magazine recently awarded Casa Herradura, the esteemed maker of Tequila Herradura and el Jimador tequilas, as the “Distiller of the Year,” the first time this prestigious award has ever been given to a tequila distillery.
There were 45 nominees in nine award categories ranging from “Winemaker of the Year” to “Importer of the Year”. Casa Herradura was selected for its outstanding contributions to the world of spirits, with special attention to achievements recorded in 2007.
Earlier this year, Casa Herradura received multiple medals from the San Francisco World Spirits Competition for Tequila Herradura and el Jimador.
Casa Herradura is one of the oldest and most respected producers of Tequila. Founded by Ambrosio Rosales and Aurelio Lopez, Casa Herradura is a Mexican treasure that, many believe, delivers the world’s highest quality, most authentic tequila experience because of the expertise and leadership it has developed since 1870. Located and produced in the heart of Mexico’s tequila region, in the tiny town of Amatitan, Jalisco, just outside of Guadalajara, Tequila Herradura is 100 percent blue agave tequila carefully crafted using traditional methods, such as cooking the agave in clay ovens and fermenting naturally with wild yeast. Tequila Herradura is all natural and estate bottled.
