First released in 1996, this extra añejo was launched 10 years before the category was created and so seemingly takes pride in not actually proclaiming to be an extra añejo on the bottle. Real is blended from tequila aged between 3-5 years. Read more

Review and Tasting

Sampled on 19/11/2011

Appearance

Clear, pale golden.

Aroma

Vanilla rich, stewed/dried fruit, salty nose with faint rum & raison ice-cream, fresh dill and cigar tobacco.

Taste

Wonderfully complex with aged rum notes masking some of the agave character and a subtle dry oaky topping.

Aftertaste

Long, majestic finish with lingering agave and spicy oak.

Further product information

Closure: Natural cork stopper
