Nuda Extra Añejo is a 100% agave tequila aged 42 months in used French oak barrels and bottled at 40% ABV in a sandblasted glass bottle featuring an elegant female figure.
Nuda, meaning nude, takes its name from the graceful silhouette etched into its bottles, and its tequilas are crafted for slow sipping. Three and a half years in French oak, beyond the three-year minimum for an extra añejo, bring intense chocolate, vanilla and oak notes along with a distinct nuttiness.
The nose brings roasted agave and rich dark chocolate. On the palate come roasted agave, vanilla and a distinct nuttiness, and the finish is smooth, with faint almond and chestnut notes.
The sculptural sandblasted bottle makes it a striking gift and display piece.
Sip it neat from a snifter.
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.
