Suerte Extra Añejo Tequila

Product Description

Suerte Extra Añejo Tequila: Aged 7+ Years in Charred American White Oak

Suerte Extra Añejo is the long-aged end of the lineup. It’s made from 100% Tahona-crushed Blue Weber agave, double-distilled, and aged for more than seven years in charred American white oak whiskey barrels. That’s well past the three-year minimum for an extra añejo, and the brand says the aging gives it a silky golden hue and a highly complex, full-bodied flavor, with notes of ripe cherry, vanilla, apricot, and cinnamon. It’s bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof) and made to be sipped neat or on the rocks.

It’s made under master distiller Pedro Hernandez Barba at NOM 1530 in San Francisco de Asís, Jalisco, in the highlands of Los Altos. Some retailers sell it as a single-barrel, limited bottling, so each barrel carries its own character.

Tasting Notes

From Suerte’s distiller notes and retailer and reviewer descriptions. Single barrels vary.

Color: Silky golden.

Nose: Warm caramel and nutmeg, with prune, cinnamon, and a thread of honey.

Palate: Freshly charred oak up front, with ripe cherry, vanilla, apricot, raisins, and dates, plus cinnamon.

Finish: Soft, velvety, and long, with lingering warmth and oak.

Food Pairings

The oak, dried fruit, and cinnamon pair well with dark chocolate, aged Manchego, and pecan pie. It also goes with grilled steak, roasted duck, and flan, and with a good cigar.

Serving Suggestions

Suerte recommends it neat or on the rocks. A single large cube keeps it cold without watering it down. Its depth also makes it a good base for an Old Fashioned or a tequila Manhattan, where complexity is the point.
