ArteNOM Selección 1146 Añejo Tequila

An exquisite añejo tequila from one of Jalisco's finest distillers. At Tequileña in the eponymous town of Tequila, Jalisco, home to a range of celebrated tequilas, Master Distiller Enrique Fonseca distills agave predominantly grown in and around his highland hometown of Atotonilco el Alto. For this añejo expression, Enrique ages select tequilas initially in used Cabernet Franc wine barrels from the Loire Valley of France for a minimum of 14 months. The tequila is then extracted from the French oak and laid into toasted American white oak previously used to age either Canadian whiskey or Tennessee rye whiskey, for a minimum of 14 additional months, for a truly masterful balance of oak and agave flavors. Tequila ArteNOM presents regional tequila selections of distinct altitude, agave cultivation, and distillation technique. These limited release Selecciones celebrate the best of tequila craftsmanship by highlighting the agave cultivation altitude, soil, and masterful distillation techniques of different tequila-producing regions. We invite you to savor these personal distillers' selections and celebrate their particular art of distinction, the Art of their NOM. (from ArteNOM)
