Don Cayo Añejo Tequila Special Edition

Don Cayo is a valley tequila from El Arenal, Jalisco, where the brand's core line is made at Tequilera Puerta de Hierro, NOM 1477, under master distiller Leticia Hermosillo Ravelero. This Special Edition puts the añejo into a glazed ceramic decanter, offered here in black or white, a bottle built to stay on the shelf long after the tequila is gone. The house method runs the same across the range: blue Weber agave from the lowlands around El Arenal is slow-cooked in stone and clay ovens, crushed on a roller mill, fermented in stainless steel and double distilled in copper pot stills, with the aged expressions matured in French white oak. The ceramic añejo is bottled at 40% ABV, and the published notes for it are sweet caramel and toasted wood on the nose, then toasted oak, caramel and cooked agave on the palate with a lingering finish. Don Cayo's standard añejo spends 20 months in French oak, well past the one-year minimum for the category, and that extended rest is what gives the line its sweet, oak-forward style. Pick the color when you order; the tequila inside is the same either way.
