Padre Azul Anejo Tequila

Padre Azul Añejo Tequila is a rich, oak-led expression made from 100% Blue Weber agave at the Tres Mujeres distillery in Amatitán, in the Tequila Valley of Jalisco. The agave is cooked slowly in a masonry oven before being double distilled in pot stills, and the spirit is then aged for a minimum of 18 months in medium-char American oak barrels that previously held bourbon.

The long maturation brings oak spice and dried apricot to the fore, joined by candied orange, dark chocolate, cinnamon and praline, with fresh agave still running through the centre. It is presented in a leather bottle jacket topped with the brand's distinctive skull-shaped stopper. Best enjoyed neat or over a single large ice cube as an after-dinner sipper.
