Cava de Oro Añejo (75cl, 40%)

Cava de Oro Añejo is a tequila made from 100% Blue Weber agave, aged for 2 to 2.5 years in red wine barrels. It is produced at Tequilera Puerta de Hierro in El Arenal, Jalisco, Mexico, and bottled at 40% ABV. The agave is double distilled before entering a programme of American and French oak barrels previously used for red wine. That maturation runs well beyond the one-year legal minimum for añejo, giving the spirit a depth and silky richness. The result is an intense gold liquid with notably silky viscosity. On the nose there is cooked agave and toasted oak, followed by vanilla, caramel and light nutmeg, with dried fruit beneath. The palate is soft and silky, with toasted oak, honey, maple syrup, dark chocolate and ripe red fruit. The finish is smooth and persistent, with gentle oak tannins, caramel and baking spice.
