Herradura Ultra is a cristalino tequila an aejo aged twelve months in American oak, then charcoal-filtered until the color drops out and the liquid runs crystal clear. Casa Herradura built it in Amatitn, Jalisco, from 100% blue agave, finishing it with a touch of agave nectar so the barrel sweetness stays put. The aroma is sweet, smoky agave; the palate turns velvety with vanilla, toasted nuts, and caramel before an ultra-smooth close. It looks like a blanco and drinks like an aged pour, which is the whole trick. Serve it neat in a glass where the clarity shows, or pour it over a single large cube for anyone who wants aged tequila without the amber.
