Tequila El Mayor Extra Añejo Port Cask Aged
Tequila Extra Añejo
Tequila El Mayor // Tequila Valley, Jalisco, Mexico
This Port Cask Aged tequila is another limited edition release from Luxco's El Mayor Tequila brand. Like the all El Mayor bottlings, this one is made with 100% blue weber agave from the Tequila Valley in Jalisco, Mexico.
Extra Añejo tequila requires at least 36 months of barrel maturation and in this case, El Mayor ages just a bit longer for 42 months. And as the name suggests, the casks used here formerly held port wine, a fortified wine from Portugal.

Tasting Notes
"Allow the tequila to sit in the glass a bit to allow some pencil shavings to blow off. Once you do, the sweet vanilla and candy-like fruit (think Skittles) comes through along with oak. On the palate it's a bit soft and slick with a chocolate finish. The tequila feels a bit unbalanced. Would like more of the port wine notes to come through. "
