Avion Reserva 44 Extra Anejo Tequila (40%)

An extra añejo tequila produced in Jalisco, Mexico, from 100% Blue Weber agave grown at high elevations. The agave is hand-selected and slow-roasted, often over three days in traditional brick ovens, then fermented and small-batch distilled. Reserva 44 spends 43 months in American oak barrels, then a final month in smaller, specially selected casks that are rotated daily before bottling. It is bottled at 40% ABV. The nose brings roasted agave, warm vanilla, citrus zest, oak spice and subtle leather. The palate is smooth and expressive, with sweet honey, caramel, rich vanilla, almond, dark roasted agave, mango and ripe orchard fruit, with warm oak and baking spices such as cinnamon. The finish is medium-long and refined, with oaky warmth, dried fruit and gentle spice.
