Lot 1, Extra Anejo. This was our very first batch of tequila ever made! We only had 1000 bottles in this lot. It was bottled in November 2018.

This won every spirit competition we submitted to: Sip Awards, World Spirits Competition, Denver International Spirits Competition, Los Angeles International Spirits Competition, New York Spirits Competition, Tequila Mezcal Challenge.

“Wow, where do I start with this one. First, it’s fantastic. The color is as light as most reposados because it has been aged in 20+ year old used bourbon barrels for 3 1/2 years. But don’t let the color fool you. The aroma and flavor shows every bit of character that you want in an extra añejo, including agave. You’ll find a lot of gentle and natural vanilla and pitted fruits in the aroma and flavor, and a nice fruity flavor that lingers on the palate along with cooked agave. Only 1,000 bottles made, so this one is a rare find. Grab it if you can.”
