Extra Anejo is what we call tequila agings, which go beyond three years. So this El Amo Premium Extra Anejo, has been aged for more than three years in barrels of white oak. The tequila gets is vibrant golden tones from the pigments which are bound in the barrels. The spirit draws out the pigments and flavours of the wood, and blends them into a – hopefully – satisfactory combination with the pre-existing flavors of the blanco tequila, on which the Extra Anejo is built. It is a challenging profession making extra anejos, because it is really difficult to know how the flavour will develop and the qualities of the original blanco should not disappear, but rather be enhanced.
The El Amo Premium Extra Anejo is an aged tequila where the aging has been a success. The tequila is mellow and full and has a fine oily quality.
Rich in honey sweetness and with notes of walnut, coconut and a very satisfactory and well nuanced agave, this sumptuos extra anejo is a treat. The the wooden notes blend exquisitely with the flowery notes of the agave.
With its brilliant golden dark color, sweet vanilla and strong wood aroma, Tequila El Amo Extra Añejo is ultra-smooth on the pallet.
Its intense combination of gentle spices, buttered caramel apples and baked pineapples stimulate the senses. El Amo Extra Añejo finished with a mellow combination of fruit, crushed flower petals and the wood notes one would expect after being rested for 3 years.
