Fuenteseca Reserva Extra Añejo Tequila 2014

An extra añejo tequila from Mexico, this bottling under the Fuenteseca Reserva label carries a 2014 vintage designation, marking the year it was set to rest. Extra añejo is the most aged of tequila's official categories, requiring a minimum of three years in oak, which pulls the spirit well past the bright agave of younger expressions into something darker and more contemplative.

Long time in wood tends to soften tequila's edges and layer in notes of caramel, dried fruit, toasted oak, and warm spice, while the underlying cooked agave still threads through. This is a sipping tequila, meant for a glass on its own rather than a mixing role, where the years of aging can show without distraction. Serve it neat at room temperature and give it a moment to open.
