Amatiteña Tequila Añejo

This additive-free añejo tequila from Amatiteña is produced under Maestro Tequilero Alberto Partida at NOM 1477 in Amatitán, Jalisco. Made from 100% blue weber agave sourced from single estate fields, the agave is cooked in a mesquite-fired stone oven, crushed using an automated tahona, fermented with fibers in open-air wooden tanks using ambient yeast, and distilled in 19th century wood-fired copper pot stills. The tequila is then rested for 12 months in ex-Napa Valley red wine American oak barrels before bottling at 42% ABV (84 proof).
