Five years resting in French oak casks produces something rare: a Tequila from Jalisco that rivals the world's finest aged spirits, bearing the unmistakable signature of Master Distiller Enrique Fonseca at the legendary Tequilena Distillery.


Crafted at NOM 1146 in the heartland of Tequila, Jalisco, Purasangre sources its agaves from Atotonilco El Alto and employs a two-stage distillation, first through stainless steel alembic pot stills and then through copper pot stills, before this extra anejo begins its long, patient rest. The result is additive-free tequila rooted in Mexico's oldest distilling traditions.


  • Nose: Cooked agave, toasted oak, dried fruits, and rich caramel
  • Palate: Full-bodied and oily, with notes of tobacco, caramel, and butter anchored by a roasted agave backbone
  • Finish: Lasting and creamy

This is a sipping tequila above all else, but its depth and richness make it a show-stopping pour in an Old Fashioned or alongside a perfectly crafted Oaxacan Old Fashioned riff where aged spirit complexity takes center stage.


Best enjoyed neat or over a single large ice cube to let the oak and agave character fully open up. Purasangre Extra Anejo is produced from agaves grown in Atotonilco El Alto, Jalisco, the storied heartland of premium tequila production.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Stewed peaches, caramel, warm apples and esquites.

Palate: Sweet corn muffin, cilantro, vanilla, fennel and honey.

Finish: Butterscotch and vanilla, with a little pepper and cooked agave.

NOM: 1146
Purasangre, Spanish for thoroughbred, has been made since 1991 at Tequileña (NOM 1146) in Tequila, Jalisco, under master distiller Enrique Fonseca. The agave is grown by the Fonseca family in Atotonilco El Alto, above 5,200 feet, and harvested fully mature with high sugar. Piñas cook slowly in low-pressure autoclaves, then a screw mill and roller mill extract the juice for fermentation with deep well water. Each batch is distilled twice, first in a stainless steel pot still and then in copper. Fonseca, a fourth-generation agave farmer, bought the distillery from Bacardi in 1989 and learned distilling and aging in Scotland and France.

Map of Jalisco, Mexico, with Tequila marked

Tequila is the town that gave the spirit its name, set at about 1,180 meters in the valley below the Tequila volcano, some 60 km northwest of Guadalajara. Blue agave covers the volcanic soils between the volcano and the canyon of the Río Grande de Santiago, a landscape UNESCO named a World Heritage Site in 2006. Large-scale agave distilling began here around 1600, and several of the oldest working distilleries in Mexico still operate in town. Tequila was named a Pueblo Mágico in 2003.
