El Tesoro 85th Anniversary Extra Añejo Tequila

El Tesoro 85th Anniversary Extra Añejo Tequila is a rare, cross-category release that brings together traditional tequila craftsmanship and the deep influence of American bourbon. Created in collaboration with Jim Beam, this expression takes El Tesoro’s extra añejo tequila and finishes it in Booker’s 30th Anniversary bourbon barrels for over three years—resulting in a tequila with exceptional depth, richness, and character.

This extended aging process adds layers of complexity rarely seen in tequila, introducing bold notes of oak, sweetness, and spice while still preserving the core identity of cooked agave. The result is a tequila that feels both familiar and completely unique—bridging the gap between tequila and bourbon in a way that stands out immediately.

This is not just a bottle—it’s a statement piece for serious collectors and refined palates.
