Fuenteseca 11 Year Reserva Extra Anejo Tequila

Fuenteseca 11 Year sits in the middle of the deepest age-stated tequila vertical in the world — Enrique Fonseca's extra añejos run 7, 8, 11, 15, 18, and 21 years, each with its harvest year and distillation method on the label. Fonseca is a fourth-generation agavero, one of the largest independent growers in Jalisco, and the distiller at La Tequileña, NOM 1146, in the town of Tequila; he began laying down extra añejo in the early 2000s, varying barrel type, altitude, and climate and moving casks between aging rooms to steer the maturation, and Fuenteseca — additive-free, estate-bottled — is the result. The 11 Year is 100% highland and valley blue Weber agave from Fonseca's estates, distilled in his combination of pot and column stills, aged eleven years in American and French oak, and bottled at around 42% ABV; check your bottle for the cosecha and cask details. Sip Tequila notes that with agave taking eight to ten years to mature, these bottles represent nearly two decades of work. The Bourbon Concierge, on the middle of the range: a decade brings complex layers of vanilla, roasted nuts, and oak with an impressively smooth finish. Expect the 7 Year's Cognac, caramel, and apricot deepened into toffee, roasted almond, leather, and old oak, with the agave a quiet, earthy presence underneath and a very long finish. Honest note: at eleven years the oak leads and the agave follows — a bottle for the aged-spirits collector, and a vertical tasting beside the 7 and 15 is the point. Neat, in a Glencairn. Fonseca's eleventh year.
