Drink: Whiskey and tequila meet with Hornitas Black Barrel Tequila. Hornitos Black Barrel Tequila has some notes of oak and vanilla like some whiskies. It begins with 100% pure agave tequila and ages for 12 months in specially toasted oak barrels to create a premium Añejo tequila. Then it’s moved into deep charred barrels for 4 months, where it starts to pick up whiskey notes. The third aging takes place when the liquid is transferred to toasted oak barrels for 2 additional months to instill a smooth whiskey finish.
