Volans Añejo Tequila (75cl, 42%)

Volans Añejo is an añejo tequila from El Pandillo distillery (NOM 1579) in Jesús María, in the southern Los Altos highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. It is a numbered limited edition of 2,700 bottles, aged exactly one year and twelve days in first-fill barrels blending 70% American oak, 20% German oak and 10% French oak. It is made from estate-grown Blue Weber agave, stone-and-brick-oven cooked, crushed on the custom mechanical tahona 'Frankenstein' and double-distilled in copper pot stills. The nose shows cooked agave, caramel, vanilla, light oak spice, citrus and dried fruit; the palate brings roasted agave, honey, caramelized sugar, baking spices and toasted oak, finishing long with sweet agave, gentle spice, wood, vanilla and citrus zest.
