El Tesoro 85th Anniversary Extra Añejo Tequila

To create this unparalleled expression, we worked with our friend and Jim Beam Master Distiller, Fred Noe, aging our tequila in the legendary Booker’s 30th anniversary barrels for over three years. The result is a complex spirit layered with sweetness, oak, and cooked agave. It’s a tequila deserving of the legacies that brought it to life.

Nose

Cooked agave, cherries, seasoned oak, leather, spices, molasses, vanilla, toffee and a touch of maple syrup.

Palate

Sweet, liquorish, cooked agave, black berries, oak, almonds, banana, tobacco, spices, coffee, caramel and pepper.

Finish

Sweet, long & creamy, with a touch of spices.

SUSTAINABILITY

All of their organic waste—the pencas that are cut off the agaves, the weeds that grow during the rainy season, the pulp from the cooked agave—goes into compost. The water Tesoro uses on production gets recycled, and they are about to install solar panels for energy at the distillery. In the agave fields they're also using all-natural herbicides and fertilizers as well as biologic pest control.
