Herencia Mexicana Extra Añejo Tequila

Herencia Mexicana Extra Añejo is the top of the "Mexican heritage" range, produced at NOM 1079, the Agave Tequilana Productores y Comercializadores distillery in the southern Los Altos highlands of Jalisco; earlier bottlings of the brand came from NOMs 1586 and 1465. The tequila is made the traditional way, from mature blue Weber agave slow-cooked in stone and brick ovens, fermented as 100% agave and double distilled in copper pot stills. As an extra añejo, it has spent a minimum of three years in oak barrels before bottling at 40% ABV (80 proof), long enough for the wood to add real depth while the highland agave still carries through. Reviewers on Tequila Matchmaker describe a very complex, old-school profile, with vanilla, caramel, butterscotch, cooked agave and barrel spice, with most scores landing in the mid-80s to low-90s and one reviewer calling it a treasure bottle. This is a sipping tequila first: pour it neat in a copita or snifter and give it a few minutes in the glass, the way you would an aged rum or Cognac. It also makes a memorable gift for anyone who has only tasted tequila in a Margarita.
