Description

Cincoro Añejo comes from five partners: Jeanie Buss, Wes Edens, Emilia Fazzalari, Wyc Grousbeck and Michael Jordan. The team tested over 1,000 tequilas before settling on this blend. It is handcrafted from 100% Blue Weber agave, sourced from the Highlands and the Lowlands of Jalisco, Mexico.

The agave grows for at least six years before harvest, so it reaches high sugar levels. It is slow-cooked for 35 hours in a 35-year-old traditional clay oven. A stone mill crushes it before yeast is added. Production stays in small batches.

The Cincoro team ages this añejo for more than 20 months in Tennessee whiskey barrels. The barrels rest in an underground cellar at the distillery. That long rest gives the tequila an intense amber color with copper tones.

Lift the glass and you get oak, sweet cooked agave, maple and orange rind. The palate is layered, with toasted oak, cooked agave, butterscotch and dark chocolate. Soft caramel and light vanilla round it out. The finish is long and elegant, as cooked agave, dried fruit and baking spice slowly unfold.

Critics like it too. The Tasting Panel scored it 98 points.

This is a sipping high-quality tequila first. Enjoy it neat, or let one big ice cube chill it slowly. The brand also mixes it into a Grand Fashioned, and it holds its own in richer cocktails. Try it with a grilled ribeye, dark chocolate truffles or crème brûlée.
