El Tesoro Añejo (750Ml)

Description

El Tesoro Añejo is a 100% blue Weber agave tequila from La Alteña Distillery (NOM 1139) in the Jalisco highlands. The Camarena family has run La Alteña for generations. Today Jenny Camarena leads production as the fourth master distiller in its history. She is also the first woman to hold the role.

The agave is estate-grown and fully mature when it is harvested. It is slow-cooked in brick ovens, then crushed with a traditional tahona stone instead of being shredded. The juice is double-distilled in pot stills and taken straight to proof, so no water is added. The tequila then rests two to three years in American oak ex-bourbon barrels.

Pour a glass and you will see a clear gold color. The nose opens with floral, jasmine-like notes, a touch of oak and agave in the background. On the palate, sweet agave meets pepper, oak and more floral tones. It ends with light green notes and a soft vanilla finish.

Judges have taken notice. In 2021 it earned Double Gold in San Francisco at the World Spirits Competition. That same year it scored 94 points at the Ultimate Spirits Challenge. The Beverage Testing Institute gave it 93 points and a Gold medal in 2024.

This is a sipping tequila at heart. Try it neat in a copita or snifter, or over one large cube. It also makes a smooth Añejo Old Fashioned. Pair it with dark chocolate, aged Manchego or a grilled steak.

If you love tequila that still tastes of agave after years in oak, this bottle belongs on your shelf.
