Tapatio Excelencia Gran Reserva Extra Anejo Tequila

Tapatío Excelencia Gran Reserva is an extra añejo tequila from La Alteña, the Camarena family distillery founded in 1937 in the highlands of Los Altos, near Arandas in Jalisco. Master distiller Carlos Camarena has preserved the spirit's balance and agave character through four years of maturation in oak, with the mix of casks varying from batch to batch and including French and American oak.

The result combines fresh fruit and cooked agave notes. The nose offers hot caramel apples, intense agave and a hidden floral flourish, while the palate brings an explosion of earthy notes, brown sugar, traditional tequila spiciness and a hint of chocolate. The finish is extremely long and rich. Bottled at 40% ABV, this is a tequila to be sipped neat, as you would a fine single malt or cognac.
