La Adelita Añejo Tequila (75cl, 40%)

An añejo tequila bottled at 40% ABV in a 750ml bottle. It is distilled from 100% single-estate Highland blue agave at NOM 1479, Compañía Tequilera Hacienda La Capilla in Los Altos, Jalisco, a distillery dating to circa 1885. The agave from Rancho el Fraile is autoclave-cooked, roller-milled and fermented in stainless steel with deep-well water, then double-distilled in small Cuban-built copper pot stills and hand-bottled on site. It is aged 18 months in second-use American oak whiskey barrels. The brand was launched in 2019 and is named for the soldaderas of the Mexican Revolution. Cooked agave and caramel lead, with vanilla and baking spice through the middle and seasoned oak framing a long, warm finish; highland agave brightness remains, with citrus and white pepper at the edges.
