Terralta Añejo Tequila (75cl, 40%)

A highland añejo tequila made from 100% Blue Weber agave at Destilería El Pandillo in Jesús María, Los Altos, Jalisco. It is produced using stone ovens, tahona crush and copper pot stills, with iron-rich deep-well water, and aged 12 to 18 months in American oak barrels previously used for bourbon. Verified additive-free by Tequila Matchmaker. The añejo keeps the distillery's signature minerality while picking up restrained barrel character: vanilla, cinnamon and roasted spice wrapped around cooked agave. Retailer impressions suggest cooked agave, stone fruit, peppery oak and light caramel on the nose, with a lasting, pleasantly oily finish.
