Add Gift Note

Often described as the world's first "Grand Cru" Tequila, Master Distiller Enrique Fonseca created this product with the goal of producing the world's oldest aged tequila. These agave were harvested in 1993, and barreled in February of 1994.

It is produced exclusively in copper-pot stills, but the barrel-aging technique is often the most talked about part of the process.

Most of the spirit was rested in barrels that once aged Canadian rye whiskey, although one barrel used previously held white wine from California.
The casks were stored for 10 years in a dry, earthen-floor aging room in the town of Atotonilco el Alto, before being designated as worthy of a longer aging, and moved to a higher, cooler climate of Chapingo, Jalisco, which sits on the slope above Atotonilco el Alto.
The barrels rested in Chapingo for an entire additional 11 years before finally being bottled in 2014.

A collector's item, these are hard to find and command

Bottled at 43.5% ABV

Unexpectedly pale in color for an extra añejo
Nose is moderately spicy, rounded with notes of butterscotch
Taste is of oaky vanilla, but the agave still comes through nicely- leaving a soft, long finish, with hints of coconut.

Enrique Fonseca began experimenting with aging extra añejo tequilas back in the early 2000’s and not only varies the time the Tequila rests, but the types of barrels and altitudes in which they do so. From the traditional American and French oak barrels to used bourbon casks, or wine barrels, Enrique has created some of the most unique aged tequilas available. The Fuenteseca line starts at a minimum of 7 years and reaches all the way up to 21 years. Given that blue weber agave takes 8-10 years to mature to be used to make tequila, these expressions can take nearly 30 years to produce.
