These limited-time expressions are a must-own and have the power to turn any time into an occasion worth celebrating.
Read on to learn more about the first two offerings in the series.
EL MAYOR SINGLE ESTATE BLANCO TEQUILA
This deliciously herbal blanco tequila is made with agave exclusively from the Los Lobos Plantation, the highest altitude in the lowlands of Jalisco at 1900 meters above sea level. Thanks to this region’s diverse soil – a combination of red clay and volcanic rock – this Single Estate Blanco boasts an exceptionally smooth taste and unique flavor profile.
Tasting Notes:
Aging: Unaged
Color: Clear and bright with silver sparkles
Nose: Notes of agave, wild herbs, fruity hints like green apples and smooth spices
Mouth: Intense bouquet with character, agave, hints of fresh herbs and fine citrus tones
EL MAYOR FRENCH OAK CHARDONNAY CASK FINISH REPOSADO TEQUILA
The type of barrels used in the tequila aging process can have a dramatic effect on its taste, and this reposado aged in French oak chardonnay casks exhibits a truly distinct flavor. With barrels personally selected by our tequila sommelier and self-proclaimed wine connoisseur, Graciela – a fourth-generation distiller from the legendary Gonzalez family – this reposado finishes with a beautifully golden color with a sweet aftertaste.
Tasting Notes:
Aging: Aged for nine months
Color: Golden straw with silver sparkles
Nose: Cooked agave, soft notes of oak and vanilla, hints of spices and fruity touches
Mouth: Smooth, sweet and oaky, cooked agave with vanilla notes at the end and a smooth, sweet aftertaste
