God Enoc Extra Añejo is a 100% blue Weber agave tequila from NOM 1431 in Jalisco, bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof).
The agave is cooked in autoclaves, milled with a roller mill and double distilled in stainless steel stills, then aged in American white oak and used barrels. As an extra añejo, it spends more than three years in wood.
The nose brings cooked agave, rich caramel, vanilla, toasted oak and light spice. The palate follows with caramelized agave, toffee, vanilla and roasted nuts, framed by gentle oak.
A limited bottling presented in a ceramic bottle, it makes a handsome gift for tequila lovers.
NOM 1431 is the official number of the distillery that makes it, printed on every bottle of authentic tequila. Autoclave cooking and double distillation in stainless steel give a clean, consistent spirit, and the long rest in American white oak layers on the caramel and vanilla that make extra añejos so popular for sipping.
Extra 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.
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.
