Wonderful añejo Tequila, produced at the Tequileña Distillery in Atotonilco El Alto, Jalisco. Using agave grown at mid-slope elevation, the Tequila is aged for an initial period in Cabernet Franc wine barrels, before being transferred to ex Canadian and Tennessee rye whiskey casks for further maturation! Masterfully balanced and with plenty of complexity, this is a most enjoyable añejo. It was released as part of the ArteNOM range, which explores Tequilas from a selection of distilleries.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Layers of flavour! Vanilla, dark chocolate, butterscotch, allspice and citrus zest. Caremalised nuts and earthy coffee with cream, spicy hints of ginger and pepper, and plenty of oak.
