Gear Haiku #82 Hornitos Black Barrel Tequila
a unique spirit
try redefined tequila
should give it a shot
Hornitos Black Barrel (21+ please) is a smooth, triple aged, 100% blue agave tequila
Hornitos Tequila is triple aged in oak barrels over 18 months
First, aged in American Oak barrels for 12 months
Next, it's moved to deep charred oak barrels for 4 months
Last, the tequila is finished off in oak barrels for a final 2 months
The result is unique tequila that has taken on characteristics of a whiskey
Smoky, oaky yet smoothed out and mild
Certainly retains the sweet agave and some vanilla hints
A great change of pace served as a shot, and breathes new life into tequila cocktails
This tequila zigs while all others zag- available now for around $30 (750ml)
