Adictivo Extra Rare 14 Year Old Sherry Cask Finish Extra Anejo Tequila
Adictivo Extra Rare 14 Year Old Sherry Cask Finish Extra Anejo Tequila is tequila aged like a first-growth — an 80-proof (40% ABV) 100% blue Weber agave extra añejo in a 750mL etched collector bottle, rested 14 years in French oak and finished in sherry casks. The "King's Edition" (Edición de Reyes) pours a deep reddish, tawny-port hue from its decade-plus in wood. Made in El Arenal, Jalisco, by founder and master distiller Gildardo Partida, the agave grows six years to maturity, slow-cooks in brick ovens, ferments naturally, and distills in copper. Order it online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Fourteen Years in the Making
Most extra añejos measure age in three to five years; Adictivo's Extra Rare spends fourteen — longer than many XO cognacs — and the sherry-cask finish pushes it into dried-fruit, old-oak territory most tequilas never reach. This is the bottle for the drinker who thought they'd tried everything agave can do. Explore the Adictivo collection or shop more tequila at Del Mesa.
Tasting Notes
Strong wood and warm vanilla on the nose; bold oak, soft vanilla, and ripe fruit on the palate; a long finish of rolling sweetness (retailer consensus).
How to Enjoy
Neat, in a snifter, with nothing to prove — fourteen years in oak has already made every argument. Pour it for the cognac drinker who claims not to like tequila.
