Amatiteña Tequila Añejo

Anejo tequila produced in Amatitan, Jalisco Maestro Tequilero Alberto Partida NOM 1477 100% Azul aka Blue Weber (Agave tequilana) Single-estate agave (current batches are from the fields El Novillero and Las Rosas) Cooked in a traditional, mesquite-wood-fired stone oven (without steam) Milled using an automated tahona (traditional stone wheel mill) Fermented with fibers (bagasse) in open air wood tanks (tinas), using spring water & ambient yeast Distilled in historical copper pot stills from the 19th century Rested 12 months in ex-Napa Valley red wine American oak barrels Indulgent aromas of fresh glazed donuts, subtle tobacco leaf, candied dates, and petit dejeuner; a palate that is at once generous and elusive, with bold, confectionary flavors of vanilla, caramel, dried cherry, candied plum, sweet potato, black walnut, and subtle marzipan...but with a texture that remains delicate and ethereal Certified additive free by Tequila Matchmaker 42% ABV Aged for 12 months in ex-Napa Valley red wine casks of American oak, Amatitena Anejo seems to gracefully straddle the line between terroir and barrel influence, between serious tequila and nightcap treatall without a moments hesitation. Rich in profile yet lean enough that it never topples into decadence, this is an anejo that stirs memory.
