El Mayor 25th Anniversary Extra Anejo Tequila

The 25th Anniversary Extra Añejo is twenty-five barrels Rodolfo González hand-picked from El Mayor's oldest stock — thirty-nine months in bourbon barrels, no finishing, to mark a quarter century of the brand. El Mayor is four generations of González distillers in Arandas: master distiller Rodolfo runs Destiladora González Lux, NOM 1603, in the Los Altos highlands with his son Paul and daughter Graciela, growing estate agave at 7,500 feet in sandy, mineral soil. The 25th Anniversary is 100% estate-grown highland blue Weber agave, fermented with the family yeast, double-distilled in stainless pots with copper coils, aged thirty-nine months in traditional ex-bourbon barrels — Drinkhacker notes, refreshingly, no funky finishing applied — and bottled at 40% ABV in a limited release. Graciela González: a smooth, well-balanced tequila with oak, dried fruit, and baking spice on the nose and palate, made to showcase the craft while honoring the anniversary. Drinkhacker calls the annual El Mayor limited edition a treat from the tequila pros. Expect the house extra añejo's caramel, vanilla, and butterscotch with more dried fig, leather, and toasted oak from the older barrels, and a long, warm, spiced finish. Honest note: a limited, hand-selected release from a real family distillery at a fraction of what the decanter brands charge for the same age — for the collector and the value-minded sipper alike. Neat, in a snifter. Twenty-five years, twenty-five barrels.
