Tequila Fuenteseca Extra Anejo 9 Year Old

Details

Fuenteseca Tequila presents the mastery of agave cultivation and tequila distillation using agave cultivated in various soil types, distilled in assorted still types, and rested in an array of vessels, be they of stainless steel or a collection of wooden casks from around the world harmonizing to create incomparable spirits in a series of limited bottlings.

Master Distiller Enrique Fonseca’s innovative approach involves distilling three-quarters of the batch in a modified double-copper column still and the rest in an alembic pot still, followed by aging a quarter of the distillate in American white oak casks previously used for California red wine and the remainder in used dark French Oak. This process culminates in a nine-year maturation in a damp-climate cellar, once an early 20th-century water cistern, ensuring a slow, cool aging with minimal wood interaction.

The result is a limited series of tequila with a rich amber color, and notes of espresso, vanilla, and cocoa.
