Pintoresco Extra Añejo is a collector's tequila presented in a hand-painted ceramic decanter inspired by Mexican Talavera pottery. The round, colourful bottle holds a full litre of extra añejo tequila made from 100% blue Weber agave and aged for more than three years in oak barrels.
Extra añejo is the longest-aged category of tequila, and the extended time in oak gives Pintoresco a deep amber colour and a rich, rounded character, with the cooked agave sweetness softened by caramel, vanilla and wood. It is bottled at 40% ABV.
The decanter is the star of the presentation. Its bold blue, white and red pattern and square opening at the centre make it a piece that stays on the shelf long after the tequila is gone, which is why Pintoresco is a popular gift for tequila lovers and anyone who appreciates Mexican folk art.
Pintoresco, meaning picturesque, celebrates the colour and craft of Mexico, pairing a long-aged sipping tequila with a decanter worthy of display.
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.
