El Cristiano Extra Añejo Tequila

Product Description

El Cristiano Black Label Extra Añejo: Patience Poured Into a Bottle

El Cristiano Black Label Extra Añejo Tequila represents the pinnacle of patience and artistry for the brand, aged a full three years in American oak barrels for supreme complexity and refinement. Crafted from 100% Blue Weber agave grown in the Jalisco highlands, this expression is made without any additives, meaning every note in the glass comes directly from the agave, fermentation, and time spent in barrel. By law, an Extra Añejo only needs to age three years, but few producers commit to this category as fully as El Cristiano does with this release.

The Mission Behind El Cristiano

El Cristiano has built its reputation on uncompromising quality, producing additive-free tequilas crafted with genuine respect for tradition and terroir. A portion of every sale supports the El Cristiano Foundation, which works to improve the lives of women and children in the town of Arandas, and the brand maintains a 100% female workforce in Mexico paid above-average wages, while also supporting local orphanages as part of its broader commitment to community sustainability.

Tasting Notes

Color: Dark amber with bright copper hues.

Nose: Aromas of caramel and nutmeg, layered with prune, cinnamon, and honey.

Palate: White oak and sweet fruit notes of raisin and dates, carried through to a luxurious, smooth finish.

Food Pairings

The caramel, nutmeg, and dried fruit character in this Extra Añejo pairs beautifully with dark chocolate, a spiced fruitcake, or a plate of dates stuffed with blue cheese. Its oak-forward finish also complements a good cigar or an aged Manchego.

Serving Suggestions

El Cristiano Black Label Extra Añejo is best enjoyed neat in a snifter, allowing the caramel and dried fruit notes to fully open up. It's meant for slow sipping rather than mixing, making it a strong choice for an after-dinner pour.
