El Mayor Tequila Extra Anejo – Sherry Cask Aged

El Mayor “Sherry Cask Aged” Extra Anejo is the family’s latest limited-edition offering, which is aged 38 months in sherry casks and continues their honored and extraordinary tequila-making tradition.

“The sherry cask enhances the full-body extra añejo, producing a liquid that is beautifully complex and elegant,” said Graciela González, fourth-generation distiller and daughter of Rodolfo González, master distiller at Destiladora González Lux. “From the dried-fruit-and-spice nose to the smooth finish of vanilla and cooked agave, this is an outstanding tequila that is sure to please even the most discriminating of tastes.”

As with every bottle of El Mayor, this limited-edition tequila is made with 100% estate-grown, blue agave from the valley area of Jalisco, Mexico. For this ultra-premium variant, only hand-selected agaves were cut, using the Jica Jima process for a smooth taste.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Aromas of dried fruit, smoky flavors, hazelnut, nutmeg, and spice.

Palate: Full bodied entry leads to perfect balance between oak and sweet notes of vanilla and caramel.

Finish: Long, elegant finish.
