Skorpios 1618 Añejo Tequila (75cl, 40%)

Skorpios 1618 Añejo is an añejo tequila made from single-estate, additive-free Blue Weber agave. The agaves are 7–10 years old and processed with brick ovens, a roller mill, open-air fermentation and copper-pot double distillation. The spirit rests for 18–24 months in medium-char American bourbon barrels, blended by age and barrel type. A distinctive production detail is that Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 is played during in-barrel fermentation. Made under NOM 1522 in Amatitán, Jalisco, it is intended for slow sipping neat. Caramelized agave and vanilla bean appear on the nose, with butterscotch, toasted oak, dried fruit and baking spice on the palate. The finish is long and silky, with an earthy agave note.
