Distiller Notes
2019 San Francisco World Spirits Competition Gold Winner
Made with 100% Blue Weber Agave, double distilled and aged for 18 months in small, American oak barrels, 99,000 Horas Tequila is named for the 99,000 hours it takes from the moment the agave is planted to when the liquid is bottled. This extraordinary tequila includes aromas of herb, mint, and agave with citrus, apple, and lime notes. 99,000 Horas has blended notes of wood and fruit that is smooth, full-bodied, with a long and silk finish. Best enjoyed sipped neat or on the rocks.
Because of their great complexity, Anejo Tequilas are most often used as a substitute for Brandy or Whiskey in cocktails like the Manhattan or Old Fashioned. Anejo Tequilas must be aged in oak barrels for between one and three years, while Extra Anejo refers to any Tequila aged longer than three years. The prolonged contact with the oak barrel allows the wood to make a much stronger impression on the Tequila by adding toffee, caramel and vanilla to the sweet, spicy agave flavor profile.
