{"product_id":"cardenas-legacy-anejo-tequila-750ml","title":"Cardenas Legacy Añejo Tequila 750ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eCardenas Legacy Añejo is a veteran-owned tequila made from 100% blue Weber agave in Arandas, in the Highlands of Jalisco, at NOM 1468. It is aged about 30 months in American white oak bourbon barrels and bottled at 40% ABV.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFounder Chris Cardenas, a U.S. Air Force veteran, began his tequila journey in 2018, and the brand's name honours the generations of military service in his family. The tequila is made the traditional way: agave cooked in stone and brick ovens, juice extracted with a roller mill, open-air fermentation with deep well water and distillation in copper pot stills.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe añejo's long time in ex-bourbon oak came about by happy accident, when its barrels were temporarily misplaced at the distillery, and the extra ageing gave it its celebrated buttery, silky mouthfeel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA tequila with a story, it makes a meaningful gift for veterans and for anyone who enjoys a rich sipping añejo.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAñejo 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.\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\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cardenas Legacy (veteran-owned)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNOM:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1468, Arandas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Añejo Tequila, 100% blue Weber agave\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e About 30 months in American white oak bourbon barrels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProcess:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stone\/brick ovens, roller mill, open-air fermentation, copper pot stills\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40% (80 proof)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Highlands, 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 at room temperature to enjoy its buttery texture, or over a large ice cube.
