1800 Milenio Artist Series by Pedro Friedeberg (75cl, 40%)

An extra añejo tequila from 1800 Tequila, made from 100% Weber blue agave steamed in traditional ovens. It is the inaugural U.S. edition of the Milenio Artist Series, a collaboration with Mexican Surrealist artist Pedro Friedeberg, limited to 1,800 bespoke bottles. The tequila is aged in new American oak barrels, then finished briefly in French oak Cognac barrels. Friedeberg's line-work is printed directly on the pyramid-shaped bottle. On the nose it is oaky with vanilla; the palate is balanced with vanilla, red fruit and cinnamon; the finish is mint-chocolate, with the Cognac-barrel finishing giving a soft, rounded character.
