Calle 23 Añejo is a 100% agave tequila from the Los Altos region of Jalisco, double distilled in traditional pot stills and matured for 16 months in ex-bourbon oak casks, bottled at 40% ABV.
Produced at NOM 1433, Tequila Quiote, it is matured to give a smooth, clean and vibrant flavour with a hint of smoke. Medium to dark amber in colour, it has a full body.
The nose shows lovely oak aromas married with light vanilla and coffee, seductively aromatic with herbs and spice. The palate is perfectly balanced, opening with wood and evolving through cracked coffee and tobacco, with agave, oak, vanilla and coffee in harmony.
A beautifully balanced Highland añejo, it makes a fine gift for tequila lovers.
Sip it neat or over a large ice cube.
Añejo tequila is aged between one and three years in oak barrels of no more than 600 litres, long enough to add colour, sweetness and spice while keeping the character of the agave, which makes it a natural sipping tequila.
Tequila 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.
