San Matias '135th Anniversary Blend' Anejo Tequila

The 135th Anniversary Blend marks Casa San Matías' 135 years — an añejo blended from the house's reserves to celebrate a distillery founded in 1886, from the family that made the first extra añejo. Casa San Matías is run today by Carmen Villarreal Treviño, the first woman to own and operate a tequila house; its Ojo de Agua distillery, NOM 1103, sits on a natural spring near Tepatitlán in the Los Altos highlands, its Gran Reserva of 1993 was the first extra-aged tequila to market, and the same distillery makes Corazón. The 135th Anniversary is 100% estate highland blue Weber agave, cooked in stone ovens, double-distilled, aged in French oak as an añejo and blended with older reserves from the cellar, and bottled at 40% ABV in a commemorative limited release; check your bottle for the blend details. Roadrunner Spirits, on the house's aged style: dried tropical fruit, brown spice, suede, and maple-nut fudge, a smooth, supple entry into creamy toffee, pepper, and leather, finishing on praline and mineral. Expect the Gran Reserva's toffee and dried fruit deepened by the older components into dark plum, butterscotch, and cocoa with a long, warm finish. Honest note: a limited anniversary añejo from a founding highland house, priced well under the decanter brands — for the collector, the Corazón fan who wants the mother house, and the gift with a date on it. Neat, in a snifter, slowly. One hundred thirty-five years.
