Amatiteña Tequila Añejo 750ml

Description

Clocking in just past the 12th month of aging that delineates reposado from añejo, this is a particularly elegant example of the rare pleasures oaked agave spirits can offer. Aged entirely in ex-Napa Valley red wine casks of American oak, Amatiteña Añejo seems to gracefully straddle the line between terroir and barrel influence, between serious tequila and nightcap treat—all without a moment’s hesitation. Indulgent aromas of fresh glazed donuts, subtle tobacco leaf, candied dates, and petit dejeuner with a palate that is at once generous and elusive, with bold confectionary flavors of vanilla, caramel, dried cherry, candied plum, sweet potato, black walnut, and subtle marzipan…but retaining a texture that is delicate and ethereal. Rich in profile yet lean enough that it never topples into decadence, this is an añejo that stirs memory.
