Corazon Single Estate Extra Anejo Tequila

Corazón Extra Añejo is the top of Sazerac's value highland line — more than three years in ex-bourbon barrels from the Buffalo Trace owner's own cooperage stream. Casa San Matías, NOM 1103, is a family-run distillery in the Los Altos highlands founded in 1886 and led by master distiller Rocío Rodríguez; Corazón de Agave is its value-priced single-estate brand for Sazerac, and the same house makes Rey Sol, one of the most-awarded extra añejos in Mexico, and the San Matías Tahona line. The Extra Añejo is 100% seven-to-ten-year blue Weber agave from a single Los Altos farm, cooked forty-eight hours in clay ovens, roller-milled, fermented seventy-two hours in open-air stainless, double-distilled in stainless pots, aged more than three years in ex-bourbon American oak, and bottled at 40% ABV. Three years of bourbon wood on highland agave: expect a nose of caramel, vanilla, toasted oak, and dried fruit with cooked agave beneath, opening into a rounded, sweet palate of butterscotch, baking spice, cocoa, and soft oak tannin with a moderately long, warm finish. Honest note: Agave Spirits Journey's read on the line — enjoyable, well-priced, not the most complex — holds here too; it's one of the cheapest extra añejos on the shelf from a distillery that makes Rey Sol, and that's the pitch. Neat, in a snifter, or an añejo Old Fashioned. The heart, three years in.
