Cierto Tequila Private Collection Extra Añejo
Tequila Extra Añejo
Cierto // Jalisco, Mexico
Cierto Tequila is a 100% additive-free tequila brand —"cierto" translates to "true" — featuring estate-grown agave from the Highlands of Jalisco. Master Distillers Enrique Fonseca and Sergio Mendoza, fourth and fifth-generation agave farmers, crafted the tequilas which were distilled at La Tequileña Distillery in the town of Tequila. Each bottling in the Private Collection portfolio is blended with aged tequilas sourced from the Fonseca private library.
The Extra Añejo expression was aged primarily in French Limousin oak which formerly held wine & spirits including cognac and armagnac. Availability begins in select markets in the US in February 2023 with a wider national release throughout 2023. (SRP $279).

Tasting Notes
"The nose is nutty and slightly buttery, though not so rich that is covers up roasted agave and green pepper accents. Flavors of roasted pine nuts, orange and grapefruit peel and green pepper are lightly swathed in caramel, which mostly comes in toward the finish along with baking spices. A pleasing taste of buttered, roasted fresh corn (as if grilled and caramelized on a barbecue) comes in throughout the mix and into the finish. "
