About Espol\u00f2n Extra A\u00f1ejo Tequila<\/h2>\n

The process begins when expert jimadors<\/em> harvest the agave after they have been matured for nearly a decade. Then, the heart of the agave \u2014 the pi\u00f1a \u2014 is removed and cooked for approximately 22 hours (versus the industry average of 12 hours). Once the pi\u00f1a has been cooked, it is shredded and the remaining agave pulp is fermented using a proprietary strain of yeast. During fermentation, Oropeza plays rock music within the distillery to inspire the agave. Then, he twice distills the wash through copper pot stills for approximately 5.5 hours (versus the industry standard of 3.5 hours).<\/p>\n

After distillation, Espol\u00f2n Tequila Extra A\u00f1ejo was laid to rest in new, American white oak barrels, where Master Distiller Cirilo Oropeza kept a watchful eye on his tequila (and waited patiently). After six long years \u2014 twice as long as the legal minimum for \u201cextra a\u00f1ejo\u201d \u2014 Oropeza bottled the tequila at 82 proof, giving it an exceptionally rich, smooth flavor. <\/p>\n

Espol\u00f2n Tequila Extra A\u00f1ejo has a nose that is both floral and smoky, with roasted agave notes mingling with baking spices, toasted almond, vanilla, ripened pineapple, maple and oak. The palate is buttery and viscous, and leads to a finish accented with cocoa nibs, rich fruits, cherry, tobacco and honey. <\/p>\n

There\u2019s only one batch of Espol\u00f2n Tequila Extra A\u00f1ejo, and once it\u2019s gone, it\u2019s gone forever. <\/p>\n
