Lost Lore Tequila Añejo (40%)

Lost Lore Tequila Añejo is an artisanal, additive-free añejo tequila from the Los Altos region of Jalisco, Mexico, made from 100% Agave tequilana Weber. The piñas are roasted in traditional stone or brick ovens, crushed by roller mills, fermented in stainless-steel tanks with Champagne yeast in an open-air environment, then double-distilled in copper pots and matured in used American white-oak barrels. The nose leads with cooked agave, warm vanilla, toasted oak and a hint of butterscotch, with delicate spice and dried fruit. The palate is smooth and round, with roasted agave sweetness, caramel and vanilla over oak, plus black pepper or cinnamon spice. The finish is long and gently warming, with oak, spice, subtle salted brine and muted banana or dried-fruit echoes.
