Don Alberto Extra Añejo Tequila Black (75cl, 40%)

Don Alberto Extra Añejo Tequila Black is the limited-release black-bottle edition of the Gran Reserva extra añejo. It is an extra añejo aged 100 months, more than eight years, in French and American white oak, then finished in wine casks. It is distilled at NOM 1477, Tequilera Puerta de Hierro, in El Arenal, Jalisco, in the Los Valles region, from blue Weber agave cooked in stone and brick ovens. The "Black" bottling is named for Alberto Partida, father of the distillery's owner. The aroma shows warm brown spices, dried fruit and vanilla. The palate unfolds oak, cherry, cooked agave, vanilla, smoke and caramel with wine and whiskey notes from the cask finish; the finish is long, rich and velvety.
