Tierra Sagrada Añejo Tequila Halloween Edition

Blue Weber agave grown into tequila in Mexico is the foundation of Tierra Sagrada Añejo. The producer's name translates as sacred land. Oak aging shapes the liquid in this Halloween Edition, which shares its añejo with the regular bottling and adds a seasonal presentation. It is bottled at 40% ABV.

Cooked agave, caramel and vanilla bean lead the nose. Toasted oak and dried fruit sit underneath. Butterscotch gives the palate richness, alongside roasted agave, cinnamon and baking spice. Soft oak keeps the texture rounded. The long finish brings warmth, lingering vanilla and barrel char, with cocoa at the close.

Let a neat pour rest briefly in a snifter before sipping. A large cube gradually softens the oak and spice. Pair with dark chocolate or churros, or mix an Old Fashioned with agave nectar and chocolate bitters.
