Telsón Añejo is a 100% Blue Weber agave tequila from the highlands of Jalisco, fermented with Champagne yeast, double distilled in small batches and aged in French oak for more than a year. It is bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV).
Telsón is made at El Patriota Distillery (NOM 1589) and takes the slow road at every step. The agave is hand-harvested, closely trimmed and slowly cooked in brick ovens, then crushed and fermented. Where most traditional tequilas use native yeasts, Telsón ferments with Champagne yeast, which gives an ultra-smooth, creamy texture and bright character.
Aging in French oak barrels adds an aroma and taste of vanilla, oak and light spice, along with dark fruit and toasted wood, over a clean, agave-forward base. The profile is dessert-like and seductive, balancing the natural sweetness of mature agave with smooth wood.
The bold yellow label with its cross emblem makes it a bright gift.
Añejo 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.
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.
