Distiller Notes
Brilliant, crystalline, golden yellow with gold highlights. Elegant aromas of fruit preserves like pear, baked apple and banana, with a powerful touch of cooke agave. Flashes of spice such as anise, and barrel aromas of vanilla, maple, walnut and chocolate. The wood tone is delicate. Fully body from the 54 months of aging in oak barrels. The palate entry is silk and sweet, leaving an aromatic trail of fruit preserves, vanilla and caramel, with a pronounced and lingering finish. The best aromas develop when left to breath in the glass for a while.
This "Luxury Edition" is handcrafted in a crystal bottle and shielded in clay using a burnished clay technique with an obsidian center, bronze metal labels, and with a henequen agave-styled neck..
Proof: 80
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.
