About this bottle

One of Herencia’s big claims to fame is that comes from the highest elevation distillery in Jalisco (6,200 ft.). The high elevation ultimately translates to lower distilling temperature because of the high atmospheric pressure as well as longer growing cycles for the agave. Roasted in traditional brick ovens and distilled in traditional copper pot stills, it is aged in ex-bourbon barrels.

AnttiRG 4.0

An elegant Agave Spirit by Destilería La Fortuna in Arandas County, Jalisco, Mexico. It is double distilled & matured in ex-bourbon barrels for 9 months. it has an aromatic birth with agave, wood, fruits, herbs & spices; while a rich life adds notes of grapefruit, caramel, lime, roasted agave & a hint of butte; while a rich & spicy life adds a hint of chili; that led to a long death with notes of spicy oak & white pepper.
