July 24th is National Tequila Day: celebrate with Hornitos Black Barrel [classic article]

National Tequila Day is Thursday, July 24, 2014. Tequila comes in wide range of flavors and types from harshest stuff with a worm to the sublime. In case you’ve only had experience with one, it’s high time you tried the other!

Hornitos Black Barrel doesn’t have that crisp flavor of typical tequilas. It’s mellow, with an almond nose, smooth on the palate and with a slight warming and more smooth flavor upon swallowing. You’ll definitely notice the “bourbon-y” notes it’s picked up with aging in oak barrels. I was happy to be hosted to experience it!

This is a spirit for which you’ll want to get out your best snifter style glasses, not merely shot glasses. Let it breathe and enjoy its fragrance, sipability. Hornitos® Black Barrel® Tequila is in a distinguished black frosted glass bottle that’s sure to make a great impression and presentation for any gathering you have coming up, or as a terrific house gift this summer. Here’s what they say about it:

Hornitos® Black Barrel® has won several “Best in Show” awards at industry competitions.
