Description

La Adelita honors the Adelitas, the women who fought in the Mexican Revolution. Its extra añejo spends an average of 48 months in second-use American oak whiskey barrels. The barrels are re-toasted in Mexico to a medium toast before holding the tequila. That combination of previously used whiskey barrels and renewed toast defines the aging process. The average maturation amounts to four years, with time and barrel preparation both central to its making.

In the glass, the tequila has an amber-gold color. Pronounced legs trace the sides, accompanying a rich texture. These visible qualities offer a starting point for a slow tasting.

Serve neat in a snifter or tequila glass. Take small sips and leave time between them to explore the layers developed during aging.
