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\u003cp\u003eBourbon casks bring vanilla, caramel and toasted oak to aged tequila, while cognac casks add dried fruit, spice and a softer, rounder sweetness. Marrying the two gives this extra añejo the depth that makes it so easy to compare with a fine whiskey.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Caramel, honey, chocolate and coffee.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTexture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich and buttery smooth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePairing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark chocolate and dessert.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cantera Negra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tequila Extra Añejo, 100% agave\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 36+ months\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 Bourbon casks and cognac casks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jalisco, 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 with dessert, especially dark chocolate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long is it aged?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo less than 36 months.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat casks are used?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBourbon casks and cognac casks, blended.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat should I pair it with?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDessert, especially dark chocolate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore more in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/tequila\"\u003eTequila collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cantera Negra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68023366025525,"sku":"VWS200426231","price":105.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/7367\/8901\/files\/noir-gold-main-10413.webp?v=1793654724","url":"https:\/\/hiddencasks.com\/products\/cantera-negra-extra-anejo-tequila-750ml","provider":"Hidden Casks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
