Tequila: Fuentaseca Reserva 2001 12 Year Extra Anejo

Fuenteseca Reserva Extra Anejo Tequila Aged 12 Years is a super rare aged Tequila from the legend Enrique Fonseca. This single-harvest tequila is a blend of column- and pot-distilled products which were vatted together before being aged in American oak ex-red wine barrels (85%) and used French oak (15%). This is the youngest batch of Fuenteseca but is still eons older than almost anything else on the market.

Fuentaseca Reserva 2001 12 Year Extra Anejo Tequila Tasting Notes

Nose: The nose is so enticing, with a lovely herbal quality. Basil, with flecks of freshly sawn wood, tree sap, and touches of butterscotch.

Palate: The flavors are both sweet and spicy with caramel and vanilla flavors mingling with a cacophony of baking spices. Cooked orchard fruit, and crème brûlée with hints of spicy Mexican dark chocolate are also present.
