Corazon Expresiones Anejo William Laure Weller Barrel Finish (750Ml)

Description

This añejo is part of Expresiones del Corazón, a limited series from Corazón tequila. The brand belongs to the Sazerac Company. It is made at Casa San Matías Distillery in Los Altos de Jalisco. Only 100% Blue Weber agave from the Jalisco highlands goes into it.

The barrel is what sets it apart. The tequila rests in casks that once held William Larue Weller bourbon from Buffalo Trace Distillery. The 2020 release spent 15 months in those barrels. The 2021 release stayed about 26 months. Each one is bottled at 80 proof.

Corazón describes the taste as chocolate, intense vanilla, nuts, eucalyptus, and chamomile. On the nose, you get oak and brown-sugar sweetness with a little baking spice. The finish is long, and a dry oak note hangs on at the end.

Every release is small. The 2020 batch was just 1,675 bottles. The tequila has also earned Double Gold and 92 points at the TAG Global Spirits Awards.

Give it time in the glass, neat or with one big cube, and the barrel notes open up. It sits nicely next to grilled steak, dark chocolate, smoked nuts, or aged cheese. If you love bourbon and want to explore aged tequila, this bottle bridges the two.
