Herencia Mexicana Extra Anejo Tequila
Herencia Mexicana Extra Anejo Tequila is an 80-proof (40% ABV), 750mL limited-production extra anejo aged 3 years and 8 months in oak, presented in a wooden box.

A 19th-Century Distillery's Own Reserve
"Herencia" means heritage, and this bottle is the point of it: after 140 years as a supplier to other tequila brands, Don Miguel Orozco Navarro's family distillery finally bottled its own spirit in 2003. The recipe never changed — highland Blue Weber agave, a 48-hour brick-oven roast, and double distillation in copper pot stills — but the extra anejo gets what a supplier's barrels never gave it: 3 years and 8 months in oak, drawn down for a limited release that ships in its own wooden box.
Tasting Notes
Nearly four years in oak delivers the deepest expression of the Herencia Mexicana line: rich caramel and toasted oak wrapped around the highland agave core, with the long, polished finish that separates true extra anejos from merely old tequila.
How to Enjoy
Neat in a copita or snifter, at room temperature. This is the end-of-evening bottle — pour it for the table that stayed late, and keep the wooden box for the shelf.
