Flecha Azul Añejo (75cl, 40%)

Flecha Azul Añejo is a 100% blue Weber agave tequila aged 18 months in ex-bourbon American oak barrels and bottled at 40% ABV in a 750ml bottle. It is produced at Casa Orendain (NOM 1110) in Jalisco, Mexico, with a zero-additive policy: only agave, yeast and volcanic water. The tequila uses seven-year-old blue Weber agave; piñas are split, the bitter core removed, then steam-cooked for 48 hours in traditional masonry ovens before double distillation in copper pot stills. The nose has bold agave, green jalapeño, oaky-vanilla caramel and cracked black pepper, with a subtle herbaceous note. The palate is creamy and barrel-forward, with maple, molasses, butterscotch, baking spice, cinnamon, dried pineapple and tropical fruit, plus a peppery punch. The finish is silky and medium-long, with black pepper, dried tropical fruit sweetness and oak undertones.
