El Tesoro Anejo Tequila

El Tesoro Añejo Tequila is a highly acclaimed, masterfully crafted aged tequila that highlights the generational expertise of the Camarena family at the historic La Alteña distillery in the Jalisco highlands. Made from 100% estate-grown Blue Weber agave, the pinas are slow-cooked in traditional brick ovens and crushed using a two-ton volcanic stone tahona wheel. Following open-air fermentation and double distillation to proof in copper pot stills, this expression is matured for two to three years in hand-selected American oak ex-bourbon barrels. This extended aging process strikes a sublime balance between the vibrant, mineral-forward character of the agave and the rich, complex wood notes imparted by the oak.

Food Pairing: Pairs brilliantly with slow-braised carnitas, dark chocolate desserts, grilled ribeye steak with chimichurri, or aged cheeses like Gouda.

Tasting Notes : Light golden amber in appearance with a smooth, medium-bodied, and silky mouthfeel.

Nose : Cooked agave, sweet vanilla, caramel, toasted oak, light butterscotch, and subtle baking spices with hints of fresh mint and citrus zest.

Palate : Agave-forward sweetness integrated with toasted oak, vanilla, cinnamon, dark chocolate, maple, and a touch of white pepper and herbal complexity.

Finish : Long, warm, and clean with lingering notes of sweet cooked agave, soft oak tannins, pepper, and a touch of mint.

Serve : Serve neat at room temperature in a Glencairn glass or a wide-rimmed tequila tasting glass, or over a large ice cube.
