The agave utilized in this exceptional spirit was meticulously sourced from the highlands of Atotonilco, harvested in the early Spring of 2006. This selection has undergone an extensive maturation process, aged for 15 years in a controlled environment that enhances its character and complexity. The majority of this aging occurred in American white oak barrels, previously used for Bourbon, which impart a delicate sweetness and richness. A small portion was aged in French oak to add subtle tannic nuances, creating a well-rounded profile.
This tequila is a testament to the mastery of the distillation process, showcasing the effects of climate and careful barrel selection. The result is a spirit that embodies depth and sophistication, designed for those who appreciate fine craftsmanship. With an ABV of 43%, this tequila is released at a strength that allows its intricate flavors to shine without overwhelming the palate.
