Distiller Notes
An exquisite Extra Añejo tequila, aged for 42 months in port casks, and distilled from blue weber agave. With hints of dried fruit and vanilla on the nose, and a sweet, oak and well-balanced finish, El Mayor Port Cask Aged brings depth and richness to every sip.
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.
