A Highland-Rooted Tequila with Oak Depth – El Tesoro Añejo Tequila
El Tesoro Añejo Tequila is a refined expression that stays true to tradition while offering layered richness and maturity. Crafted at La Alteña distillery in Jalisco using estate-grown Blue Weber agave, this añejo is slowly aged for 2 to 3 years in American oak ex-bourbon barrels. The result is a beautifully balanced tequila that honors its agave roots while embracing the warmth and complexity of barrel aging.
Tasting Experience
Color: Warm gold with amber undertones.
Nose: Floral jasmine and cooked agave met with oak notes and a gentle sweetness.
Palate: Smooth and rich, capturing sweet agave tempered by subtle pepper, warm oak, and delicate floral tones.
Finish: Clean and elegant, with light green herbal notes and a soft vanilla finish.
Craftsmanship
Everything about this tequila is crafted with care: the agave is crushed using a traditional stone tahona to preserve its authentic character, fermented in wooden vats, and double distilled in copper pot stills. Then, it’s aged in American oak barrels for years, allowing the spirit to mellow and take on gentle wood influence while remaining true to the agave.
