When I look at the range of the Tequila spectrum, I'm perpetually in awe of the diversity of flavors and aromas this craft, and its crafters have to offer, particularly when it comes to the ultra-aged expressions. Some barrels in Tequila are previously used from other aged spirit industries (wine, whiskey, rum, and so on) and thus, the liquid enters the barrel and time of rest not only to blend with the residuals of flavors of the previous spirit but also to see what the wood itself, has left. Other Maestro Tequileros and Tequileras prefer to source the barrels new, letting the agave and oak intertwine and develop together as vestal sources. Here in the flight of Extra Añejos, I believe we've laid out a map to show you what is possible when it comes to the aging of Tequilas from brand new French Oak barrels, blends from different ages, and the gentle modifications of flavors that come only from time in a previously used barrel.
