Best tequila I’ve ever had. Caramel nose with hints of spices. Even with 5 years aging the tequila maintains a nice strong blue agave taste with hints of pepper and oakiness. Very well balanced and very smooth to drink.
About this bottle
Arta Tequila is a family-owned brand located in the Tequila Valley region of El Arenal, Jalisco. They pride themselves on their sustainable practices and while they are not certified organic, grow their agave without the use of pesticides. This Extra Añejo is aged a whopping 5 years, with 3 of those years spent in American white oak (ex-Heaven Hill bourbon barrels) and a 50/50 split for the remaining two years in a combination of ex-Cognac and ex-sherry barrels.

A very nice budgetary version of tears of Llorona. Has notes of cooked agave, pineapples, cinnamon, dark chocolate, green chili peppers, toasted vanilla, raisins, nutmeg, almonds, lavender, and rancio.
Nose is super faint, but it’s packed full of flavor. Nice dry crisp peppery finish
Very first tasting! Very smooth.
