Description

El Tesoro Extra Añejo Tequila
Extra Añejo Tequila | 40% ABV (80 Proof) | 750 mL | Jalisco, Mexico | 100% Blue Weber Agave, Aged 4-5 Years

Process & Profile

El Tesoro Extra Añejo Tequila is crafted in the highlands of Jalisco at the La Alteña distillery using estate-grown 100% Blue Weber agave. The agave plants are harvested at full maturity, oven-cooked in traditional hornos, crushed with a tahona stone, fermented and double-distilled. The spirit then matures for four to five years in American ex-bourbon oak barrels. This extended aging deepens the tequila’s complexity while still preserving the agave’s signature character.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Rich aromas of coffee, dark chocolate, cinnamon, and butter, tempered with caramel and toasted almond.
• Palate: Full-bodied with notes of roasted nuts, dried fruits, roasted agave, and subtle spice layered over warm oak.
• Finish: Long and smooth with lingering dark chocolate, oak, and a hint of peppery agave warmth.

What Makes It Special

• Made from 100% Blue Weber agave grown in the Los Altos highlands of Jalisco
• Aged 4-5 years in American oak ex-bourbon barrels, longer than many extra añejo expressions
• Tahona-crushed and traditionally distilled for maximum agave character retention
• Bottled at 40% ABV and certified additive-free to uphold purity and authenticity
• From a respected family-owned distillery (Camarena family) that emphasizes craftsmanship and heritage

How to Enjoy

El Tesoro Extra Añejo is best enjoyed neat in a tulip glass or wide snifter at room temperature to allow its rich aromas to open. A very small splash of water (just a drop) can help coax out its subtler layered flavours of dark chocolate and roasted agave. For pairing, try single-origin dark chocolate, roasted almonds, or a mellow cigar to complement its depth and oak-driven sweetness.
