Tequila Extra AñejoDistilled from 100% blue Weber agave, it is aged for at least 3 years in barrels not to exceed 600 liters. Any type of wood is acceptable, although ex-bourbon barrels are most common. Extra Añejo tequilas are also known as "ultra aged".
Tasting Notes
"With twelve years of age, this is the darkest tequila in the new line of Fuenteseca Reserva 2015 selections, as well as the highest in proof. From the color, one might expect the oak to dominate the palate, but it retains plenty of agave character. Its oaky vanilla sweetness is balanced by fruit notes and a touch of heat. This is an exceptional sipping spirit that will surely be enjoyed by tequila drinkers as well as connoisseurs of brandy and whiskey."
