Expresiones del Corazón Artisanal Edition Blanco Tequila (75cl, 40%)

An unaged blanco tequila made from single-estate 100% blue Weber agave grown in the highlands of Arandas, Jalisco. Corazón, a Sazerac brand, produces the Expresiones collection with Casa San Matías (NOM 1103): piñas are slow-cooked in traditional stone ovens, then rested 60 days in stainless steel and bottled unaged. The nose brings cooked agave, fresh herbs, citrus zest, anise and green apple; the palate is sweet and plush, with cooked agave and brown sugar, minty freshness, nutmeg and citrus tang; and the finish is slightly dry, with lime peel.
