Santaleza Extra Añejo

Santaleza Extra Añejo 3 Year Tequila is a premium expression from the brand, honoring the traditional tequila-making heritage of Los Altos de Jalisco. It is crafted from hand-harvested, mature Blue Weber agave, slow-cooked in masonry ovens, naturally fermented, and double-distilled in copper stills. This tequila is aged for a minimum of three years in oak barrels, resulting in a luxurious and complex spirit.

Tasting Notes:

• Color: Rich amber with golden highlights, indicative of its time in oak.

• Nose: A captivating blend of baked agave, caramelized sugar, and vanilla, layered with dried fruits, toasted almonds, and a hint of cinnamon. Subtle floral and earthy undertones add to its complexity.

• Palate: Silky and rich, with flavors of roasted agave, butterscotch, and dark chocolate. Notes of honey, oak, and warm baking spices emerge, complemented by hints of dried apricot and orange zest.

• Finish: Long and elegant, with lingering oak, sweet agave, and a touch of spice. A whisper of smoke and vanilla rounds out the experience.
