Tequila Herradura Legend Añejo Review
If many will claim Brown-Forman’s top tequila line ain’t what it used to be — certainly in its lower end — its higher-end stuff is still pretty tasty…for a certain kind of drinker. This release is aged in charred American oak barrels that have been grooved to increase wood contact on the liquid. With that pedigree you get, no shocker, a very bourbon-y tequila, loaded with barrel sugars and sweetness, though not in any sort of synthetic, additive-packed way. It’s lacking in depth, and there’s not much agave flavor to be found, but one can’t deny that it’s an enjoyable drinker and will be loved by more neophyte tequila fans.
