About this bottle
Master distiller Enrique Fonseca crafted this spirit with the goal of producing the world's longest-aged tequila. Unlike most other releases in the 2015 line, which incorporate at least some tequila produced in pot stills, the 21 year old is produced exclusively in copper double-column stills. Most of the spirit was placed into barrels used to age Canadian rye whiskey, along with one barrel previously used to age California white wine. These spent ten years in Atotonilco el Alto before being moved to Chapingo for an additional eleven years. It is bottled at 43.5% ABV.
