Adictivo Extra Anejo Black Ceramic Tequila

The Black Ceramic is Adictivo's extra añejo in the matte black decanter — the showpiece version of the bottle that made the brand. Adictivo is made by master distiller Gildardo Partida at NOM 1653 in El Arenal, Jalisco, from a family that's made tequila for over a century; the house style is unapologetically rich and sweet, built for the sipping-tequila drinker who came from Cognac or bourbon. The Black Ceramic is 100% blue Weber agave slow-cooked in brick ovens, fermented with natural yeast, distilled in copper, and aged in French oak for an extra añejo term, bottled at 40% ABV in a hand-finished black ceramic bottle; Old Town Tequila describes a dark amber pour with reddish hues, an excellent roasted flavor, and sweet, fruity aromas. Long Island Lou Tequila, tasting the house extra añejo, found an exceptional nose — soft cherry, honey, maple syrup, and Cognac-like oak — then a very sweet, very smooth palate of caramel and vanilla. Honest note, and it's the whole conversation with Adictivo: this is the Americanized, sweet extra añejo style, and enthusiast reviewers flag it as a sweet-tooth pour that likely leans on the additives Mexican law permits — agave purists should look at Fortaleza or Tapatío Excelencia, and gift-givers and dessert-sippers should look right here, because the ceramic bottle is half the point. Neat, in a snifter, after dinner; keep the decanter. The addictive one, in black.
