Crotalo Añejo Tequila

Crotalo takes its name from the Spanish word for rattlesnake, and the snake runs through the whole brand, from the labels to its sculpted showpiece bottles. The tequila behind it is made under NOM 1509 by Tequila Embajador in Jalisco from 100% blue Weber agave. Production follows a traditional route: the agave is slow-cooked in stone and brick ovens, crushed on a roller mill, fermented in stainless steel tanks and distilled twice in copper pot stills, with deep well water used in production. Where Crotalo does something different is the barrel program. The Añejo is matured using a mix of used barrels, French oak and custom hybrid barrels, and goes through a double-barrel maturation rather than resting in a single cask type, a process aimed at layering more oak character into a tequila that still has to meet the añejo minimum of at least a year in wood. It is bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof). Tasters on Tequila Matchmaker pick up a banana note on the nose, caramel through the palate and a smooth finish with light pepper on the back end, and several have called it one of the best-value añejos they've tried.
