Don Julio Ultima Reserva Extra Añejo Tequila (75cl, 40%)

An Extra Añejo tequila from Don Julio, made from 100% blue Weber agave grown in Jalisco, Mexico, and bottled at 40% ABV in a 750ml bottle. It is crafted from the final agave plantation established by Don Julio and his family in 2006, and matured for 36 months using a Solera ageing system. It is initially matured in American oak barrels previously used for bourbon, then finished in Madeira wine-seasoned casks. The nose has toasted oak, caramel, sweet agave, vanilla, sweet tea, citrus zest, coconut and subtle warm spice. The palate is silky and concentrated, with ripe apricot, orange, brown sugar, cinnamon, honeyed agave, vanilla and dark chocolate notes, with earthy, herbal and peppery nuances. The finish is long, smooth and luxurious, with honeyed agave, soft caramel, vanilla and refined oak spice.
