Nestled in Tequila, Jalisco, Fuenteseca Reserva Extra Añejo 8 Year, curated by Master Distiller Enrique Fonseca under NOM #1146, captivates with a nuanced profile. Aromas of soft red fruits, dried cherries, and vanilla emerge from time spent in California red wine barrels and dark French oak. The palate unfolds with cooked agave, sun-dried grapes, crisp red apples, warm vanilla, and drying oak tannins, leading to a harmonious finish. Distilled in 2008, utilizing both a double-copper column still and an alembic pot still, the tequila matures for eight years. A unique aging environment in a historic cellar further refines the spirit. Enrique Fonseca's experimental approach extends to diverse barrels and altitudes, producing a range from 7 to 21 years. The commitment to quality is evident in production details, from Tequilana Weber agave to copper pot distillation, resulting in a 40% ABV (80-proof) tequila, free of additives, that embodies Fuenteseca's dedication to craftsmanship and innovation.
