Hornitos Black Barrel Tequila 4.7 out of 5 stars average rating.

Sauza Hornitos Black Barrel Tequila takes traditional tequila into the 21st century. Aged separately three times in toasted American oak barrels for 18 months, this 100% blue agave blend is transformed into a premium Anejo tequila.

It spends an additional two months in specially toasted barrels for more depth and distinct complexity.
