Fuenteseca 15 Year Reserva Extra Anejo Tequila

Fuenteseca 15 Year rested a decade and a half on a dry earthen floor in a traditional aging room — mostly American white oak with 3% French — in the deepest age-stated tequila vertical in the world. Enrique 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 to steer the maturation, and Fuenteseca — additive-free, estate-bottled — runs 7, 8, 11, 15, 18, and 21 years with the harvest year and distillation method on every label. The 15 Year is 100% highland and valley blue Weber agave from Fonseca's estates, distilled in his combination of pot and column stills, aged fifteen years in American white oak with 3% French oak on an earthen floor, and bottled at around 43% ABV; check your bottle for the cosecha. The Bourbon Concierge: a deeper, more brooding profile — leather, dark chocolate, tobacco, and stewed agave — sophisticated and long. Sip Tequila calls it rare and notes that with agave taking eight to ten years to mature, the bottle represents a quarter century of work. Expect dried fig, tobacco, dark chocolate, cedar, and stewed agave with an old-Cognac elegance and a finish that goes on for minutes. Honest note: a collector's extra añejo in old-brandy territory, priced for the years — for the aged-spirits devotee, not the Margarita. Neat, in a Glencairn, slowly. Fonseca's fifteenth year.
