Casamigos Tequila Blanco Mexico 70 cl 40%

Sixteen months in bourbon oak barrels transform Calle 23's highland agave into a full-bodied, amber añejo with toasted oak and a touch of brûléed banana.

Expert Description

Calle 23 Añejo Tequila is a Mexican Añejo Tequila made from 100% agave, bottled at 40%.

Calle 23 was founded by French chemical engineer Sophie Decobecq, who has lived in Mexico since 1999 and made the agave of Los Altos de Jalisco her specialty. The Añejo spends twice as long in barrel as the brand's Reposado – a full sixteen months in bourbon oak barrels – giving it a fuller, more complex character without entirely losing the freshness Calle 23's highland agave is known for.
