Hornitos is a big name in the tequila world. If you didn’t realize it, the iconic brand is celebrating 75 years of crafting high-quality tequila. To pay tribute to this monumental accomplishment, the brand is launching its Reserve Line featuring two new premium tequilas.

Hornitos Reserve Line

The Hornitos Reserve Line features Hornitos Cristalino Reserve and Hornitos Añejo Reserve. Hornitos Cristalino Reserve Tequila is a clear Añejo tequilas. According to the brand, this 100% Blue Weber agave-based spirit is aged in American oak barrels and gets added flavor from being finished with whole vanilla beans for three weeks.

Hornitos Añejo Reserve Tequila is a triple aged, 100% Blue Weber agave-based expression that was matured in three different American oak barrels (a toasted barrel, charred barrel, and a specially toasted barrel). According to the brand, the result is a multi-layered tequila loaded with flavors like toffee, toasted vanilla beans, and gentle smoke.

“The launch of Hornitos Reserve Line is proof of the promise we’ve made to our consumers to make premium, 100 percent agave tequila accessible to all,” Rashmi Raine, Vice President, Marketing, US Tequila & Mezcal at Suntory Global Spirits says.

“We are proud to reach 75 years of tequila craft and reaffirm our commitment to accessible quality tequila with these new premium offerings. Embodying the ‘Tequila de Todos’ spirit, Hornitos Cristalino Reserve and Añejo Reserve are a celebration of our rich Mexican history and take us into the next era for the Hornitos brand.”

Where can I buy them?

These two new Hornitos tequilas will be available at select markets before rolling out nationwide. The suggested retail price for both is $44.99 for a 750ml bottle.

Isle of Skye Whisky is releasing a blended whisky aged in magma stone toasted casks
Isle of Skye Magma Stone Toasted

In my years of writing about alcohol, I’ve seen my fair share of unique aging vessels and techniques. This includes sonic aging, floating rickhouses, fortified wine casks, tequila barrels, rum casks, and of course Japanese Mizunara oak. But Isle of Skye Whisky’s recent release makes the rest look fairly pedestrian. That’s because this popular brand recently announced Isle of Skye Magma Stone Toasted, a blended whisky finished in a creative, proprietary magma stone-toasted cask. Yes, you read that right. This whisky was aged in barrels toasted with volcanic rocks.

Most spirits brands want to sell you more bottles. The Last Drop’s whole business model is selling you fewer.

Founded in 2008 by booze-industry veterans Tom Jago and James Espey, the Louisville-based label tracks down exceptional aged spirits and releases them in tiny, numbered runs. Some come from forgotten casks, and some are created by The Last Drop Assembly, a collective of master blenders and distillers. Sazerac has owned the label since 2016.
