Tequila Reserva 1800 Añejo (70cl, 38%)

An añejo tequila made exclusively from blue Weber agave, double distilled in copper pot stills and aged for over a year in oak. French and American oak casks shape the spirit. The agave hearts are steam-cooked in brick ovens for 36 to 40 hours, then crushed in four successive roller stages before fermentation with a proprietary yeast culture for 40 to 50 hours. The amber tequila has a full-bodied character marked by oak and spice, with vanilla and butterscotch alongside caramel and nutty impressions, and a dry, peppery finish. The nose shows roasted coconut, toffee-coated apple and cigar box aromas, with spicy wood, perfumed notes, roasted oak, vanilla, cinnamon, cloves, caramel and chocolate. The palate combines wood and spice with dried fruit and nut notes, caramel, chocolate and roasted agave. The finish is dry and oak-led, with spicy toffee and black pepper.
