Cenote Sac Actun Extra Anejo Tequila (75cl, 40%)

Cenote Sac Actun is an extra añejo tequila made from 100% Blue Weber agave at Fábrica de Tequilas Finos in Tequila, Jalisco. It is aged ten years in oak, well beyond the three-year extra-añejo minimum, and bottled at 40% ABV in a 750ml bottle. The name refers to the sacred underground cenote cave system of the Yucatán Peninsula, though the tequila itself is made in Jalisco. A decade in oak gives it dried fruit, toffee and baking spice over roasted agave warmth. It has a rich amber colour, with sea-salt caramel and vanilla on the nose. The palate brings dried apricot, roasted poblano warmth, toffee, dried fruit and baking spice, followed by a long, warming finish that reads closer to cognac.
