Suerte Añejo Tequila

Product Description

Suerte Añejo Tequila: Aged 24 Months, Twice the Industry Standard

Suerte Añejo is aged for 24 months in charred American white oak whiskey barrels, which the brand says is twice as long as the industry standard. It’s made from 100% tahona-crushed Blue Weber agave that’s slow-roasted for about 56 hours, crushed on a stone tahona, and double-distilled in stainless steel and copper. The result is a complex, full-bodied añejo with notes of oak, berry, mint, and vanilla, bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof).

It’s made at NOM 1530 in the Jalisco highlands, and Tasting Panel scored it 93 points, calling it rich, deep, and creamy, with earthy agave and sweet caramel. Most tequilas are aged one to three years in small oak barrels, and Suerte uses American oak whiskey barrels for a fuller flavor.

The Bottle and the Legend

Suerte means “luck.” The bottle was designed by tattoo artist Adam Jackson and shows the legend of the 400 rabbits, along with other “lucky” tequila icons. In the story, an agave farmer’s wife spotted 400 rabbits joyfully sipping fermented agave nectar, gathered it, and shared it, and so started tequila.
