Born in 1870, Casa Herradura is the last true tequila producing Hacienda on the planet. Within its ancient walls, we craft and estate-bottle some of the finest tequilas anyone has ever tasted. It is here that we invented the first reposado and extra añejo, forever changing the world of tequila. And it is here, from the small town of Amatitán in the heart of Mexico’s tequila region, that we continue to set the standard for what’s to come.Agave nectar is a natural sweetener made from the blue agave plant, the same plant used to make tequila.

This natural sweetener is used in numerous cocktails as an alternative to sugar because of its remarkable taste, long shelf life and lower glycemic index.

The nectar is made by cooking and filtering the sap from the pia, the heart of the blue agave plant. The taste of the blue agave nectar is comparable to the taste of honey but is less viscous, making it perfect to sweeten cold drinks because it dissolves quickly. Plus, being a natural sweetener, it does not have a bitter aftertaste the way artificial sweeteners often do.
