Califino Añejo Tequila (75cl, 40%)

Califino Añejo is an añejo tequila made from 100% blue Weber agave from the Arandas Highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. It is rested in American oak barrels well beyond the one-year añejo minimum, allowing the oak to marry with the agave. The Luna family's range is built on ageing beyond category minimums, and this expression comes from red-soil Arandas Highlands fruit sourced since the 1970s. It is bottled under the San Diego-founded Califino label. The extended American-oak rest gives silky caramel and toasted almond alongside baked agave. It is suited to sipping neat or with one cube, and its caramel-and-almond depth also works in a tequila Old Fashioned. On the nose there is lightly toasted barrel and silky caramel. The palate shows deep hints of baked agave and toasted almond in a warm, full body. The finish is deep toasted oak, warm and lingering.
