Description
Blue Weber agave grown in the mineral-rich red soils of Los Altos, Jalisco, forms the foundation of El Cristiano 8 Year Extra Añejo. Made entirely from that agave, the tequila spends more than 96 months in American oak barrels. Extended maturation gives it a deep amber color with copper and mahogany tones.
Vanilla bean, dark caramel, and toasted oak lead the aromas. Maple, roasted walnuts, dried figs, cinnamon, and clove follow, with leather and tobacco underneath. The full-bodied palate brings chocolate ganache, coffee, vanilla custard, and dried apricot and plum. Toasted almond and sweet tobacco accompany the oak. Vanilla, baking spice, and earthy tobacco linger on a long, warming finish.
Serve neat in a tequila glass or Glencairn, allowing a few minutes in the glass. A single large ice cube is another option. Pair with dark chocolate mousse or pecan tart.
