{"product_id":"el-viejito-extra-anejo-tequila-750ml","title":"El Viejito Extra Añejo Tequila 750ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eEl Viejito Extra Añejo is a heritage tequila from the El Viejito distillery, the first distillery established in Atotonilco el Alto in the Highlands of Jalisco and family-operated since 1937. It is aged three years in previously used whiskey barrels and bottled at 41% ABV (82 proof).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade under NOM 1107 from Highland blue agave, the tequila spends its long rest in former whiskey casks, which add caramel, vanilla and oak while the bright, sweet character of the Highland agave holds its shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEl Viejito, meaning the little old man, has built a following among tequila enthusiasts for offering traditional, long-aged tequila at an approachable price, and its extra añejo is a favourite of curated selections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith its rustic label and purple accents, it is an honest, old-school sipping tequila from one of Jalisco's historic families.\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\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tequila El Viejito, NOM 1107\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 Three years in previously used whiskey barrels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 41% (82 proof)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Atotonilco el Alto, Highlands of 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 from a snifter or tequila glass at room temperature.
