Where Agave Heritage Meets Whiskey Inspired Depth - Hornitos Black Barrel Añejo Tequila
Hornitos Black Barrel Añejo Tequila transforms traditional agave craftsmanship into a bold, whiskey like experience through an innovative triple aging process. Starting as a refined Añejo and finished in specially charred American oak barrels, this spirit offers a striking balance of roasted agave purity and deep barrel intensity. It is crafted for tequila lovers who appreciate complexity and for whiskey drinkers who enjoy exploring agave spirits with darker, richer tones.

Craftsmanship
Hornitos begins with 100 percent blue Weber agave, slow roasted and distilled using their signature methods. The tequila is aged first as a traditional Añejo before undergoing two additional aging phases in extra charred American oak barrels. This unique process imparts the whiskey like depth Black Barrel is known for, creating a fuller, darker, and more robust flavor profile while preserving agave character at its core.
Best Enjoyed
Sip it neat to enjoy the full depth of its barrel driven flavor. It is also excellent over a single ice cube or mixed into elevated cocktails like a barrel aged Old Fashioned or a rich, smoky Margarita twist.
