It is bottled at 40% ABV.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEight years in wood is an exceptional span for tequila, and the Cognac barrel finish adds polish to the deep American oak character. The result has won Gold at the New York International Spirits Competition in 2020 and Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2022.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt pours a deep, rich dark wood colour. The nose shows toasted barrel and sweet caramel, the palate layers oak, caramel and a light hint of chocolate, and the finish is warm and full-bodied.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe squat bottle with its leather-wrapped neck makes it an impressive gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat from a snifter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExtra añejo is the most mature category of tequila, created in 2006 for tequilas aged more than three years in oak barrels of no more than 600 litres. The long rest softens the agave's natural pepper and brings out caramel, vanilla and dried fruit, which is why extra añejos are usually enjoyed neat, like a fine cognac or whisky.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTequila can only be made from blue Weber agave in five designated Mexican states, chiefly Jalisco, and the finest bottlings are made from 100% agave. Sipping tequila is best enjoyed from a narrow-rimmed glass that concentrates the aromas, at room temperature and without salt or lime, so the character of the agave and the barrel can come through.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Toasted barrel and sweet caramel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oak, caramel and a light hint of chocolate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warm and full-bodied.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e CaliFino Tequila\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Extra Añejo Tequila\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7 years in American oak, plus 1 year in a French Cognac barrel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80 proof (40% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask \/ Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e French Cognac barrel finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mexico\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat from a snifter at room temperature.
