Tequila & Mezcal

Tapatio Añejo - 50cl | Urban Bar (1x75cl)

TEQUILA AÑEJO Again, the clue is in the name, with añejo simply meaning aged. These Tequilas spend between one and three years in oak, which can translate into quite an impact on the relatively delicate flavours found in the raw agave spirit especially if ex-American whiskey casks are used. This is a tightrope walk between agave and oak, with the finest examples allowing the former to shine while the latter contributes layers of complexity and secondary aromas. Sipping Tequilas for sure, but dont be shy of a little judicious mixing in high-end cocktails too. Were not quite done with the Camarenas. Don Felipe Camarena founded the La Alteña distillery in 1937 and started selling Tapatío three years later, with grandson Carlos now in charge of operations and making Tapatío alongside other Tequilas including Ocho and El Tesoro. After a long fermentation and traditional double distillation, this añejo spends 18 months in ex-Bourbon casks. Serving Suggestions: Characterful and smooth enough
