This mould breaking tequila comes from the Cuervo stable and is a blend of reposado tequila aged for 15 months, añejo tequila aged for 24 months and extra añejo tequila aged 36 months. All are lowland 100% agave tequilas aged in new European oak casks. Finally they are blended and charcoal filtered.

The charcoal filtration stripes some of the flavour compounds and the colour usually associated with oak aging to produce a crystal clear tequila. Each bottle is hand-labelled and individually numbered with the bottling date and the name of the range from which the agave used to make the tequila were harvested. First released in August 2008.

Review and Tasting

Sampled on 03/11/2013

Appearance:

(batch El Maloaste, date May 2012, bot No. 19717) Crystal clear.

Aroma:

Earthy buttery toast, vegetal agave, green apple skin and vanilla.

Taste:

Slight icing sugar sweetness, delicate agave, cracked black pepper and white pepper spice, vanilla and faint barbeque charcoal.

Aftertaste:

Dry cracked black pepper spice dominates faint honey sweet agave. I love embossed bottle, weighty black 'bondage' stopper and concept but sadly I think it's not only colour that filtration has stripped away.
