“Crack! That’s the sound of the bat hitting this one right out of the park. Dry and earthy when you first taste it, with plenty of cedar spice. The longer you let it linger, the more soft, honeyed sweetness it develops. Our favorite” – David Wondrich

“Much mellower and less briny than the regular Chinaco añejo, the Negro delays delivering its considerable cargo of fresh floral agave until the finish, coming in as sweet and pleasant as Irish whiskey” – David Wondrich

“This was the closest in flavor to the brand’s standard añejo. In Herradura’s case, this is by no means a bad thing: Although the flavor is deeper, it does nothing to mess with the trademark bright agave nose and tropical fruits and minerals.” – David Wondrich
