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
"The sweet, dry nose offers holiday spices and dried fruit. The palate is thick but mellow, with agave, butterscotch and custard on the front. More agave, cinnamon, milk chocolate and caramel follow. The dry, subtle finish extends the agave notes, with citrus peel and hints of oak."
