Hornitos Black Barrel Añejo Tequila

Hornitos Black Barrel is an añejo tequila bottled at 40% ABV in a 750ml bottle; the label reads 'Tequila Añejo' and '100% agave' and states that it is aged 18 months. It starts as an aged añejo, then spends four months in deep-charred oak barrels, which give it a rich, smoky flavour and golden amber colour, followed by two further months in specially toasted barrels for added depth and complexity. It pours dark amber, with aromas of oak, vanilla and pepper and a palate of agave and citrus that leads to a long, warm finish. This listing is the current brown bottle with the gold label.
