Herradura Blanco is finally available in the U.S.

If you’re a fan of tequila (Herradura in particular), you might be surprised to learn that until now, Herradura Blanco hasn’t been available in the United States. While this tequila was first introduced in Mexico in 1870, you couldn’t purchase it outside the country.

Tequila drinkers could get Herradura Silver, Reposado, Añejo, Ultra, Selección Suprema, and Legend, though. Just not Blanco, for some reason. Well, that changes now.

Herradura Tequila Blanco

This rare and historic tequila is set to join the lineup of popular tequilas already available in the U.S. Made at a higher ABV than the other Herradura tequilas, it’s bottled at a potent 46% ABV. The liquid is transparent in appearance and carries notes of cooked agave, gentle baking spices, cracked black pepper, and citrus peels. If you drink it neat, the finish is long, warm, lingering, and surprisingly mellow for a blanco tequila.

“Herradura Blanco holds a unique place in tequila history,” Kelley Kerger, Senior Brand Manager of Tequila Herradura in the U.S., said in a press release.

“For nearly a century, this was the only tequila produced at Casa Herradura, shaping not only our heritage but the tequila category as we know it today. By bringing Herradura Blanco to the U.S., we’re sharing a piece of that origin story, inviting consumers to experience an authentic taste of history in every pour.”

There hasn't always been as much enthusiasm about mixology. We can thank the cocktail renaissance of the early aughts for the rise in cocktail culture. Not only did it give way to a new wave of innovative, creative bartenders all over the US (and the world), but it also returned classic drinks to prominence and paved the way for a new age of home cocktailing. And while I could write about all of the exciting things the cocktail renaissance brought with it, today, I'm most interested in the art of crafting cocktails at home.

Like many of you, I'm not (and never have been) a bartender. But, in my work, I've spent much time in cocktail bars and around bartenders. I've created a simple, workable home bar featuring tools, ingredients, and bottles of various spirits. But I didn't start with a fully functional home bar on day one. And neither will you.

Going green never tasted so good: 7 sustainable spirits to try now
Get to know these sustainable spirits brands

Sustainability (especially in the alcohol world) isn't easy. It requires distilleries to create initiatives for environmentally responsible actions that impact everything they do, from where they source their ingredients to what they package their spirits into how they distribute their products. To be sustainable, they need to lower waste and reduce their overall carbon footprint.

In my nearly twenty years of writing about alcohol, I've been lucky enough to visit distilleries all over the world, from Taiwan to Tennessee. And in those years, I've seen a handful of highly sustainable distilleries in action. There's something special about knowing that not only is the whiskey, rum, vodka, or tequila well-made and flavorful but it's made in a way that doesn't negatively impact the world for our children and beyond.
