E-40's Flagship: The Oak-Aged Top of the Line
Earl Stevens built one of the Bay Area's biggest independent music careers before turning to spirits — Earl Stevens Selections, founded in 2013 — and launched E Cuarenta ("E-40" in Spanish) in 2018 with exactly three expressions: Blanco, Reposado and this Anejo. Stevens sourced the tequila in Mexico himself, and the Anejo is the line's statement bottle: the longest-aged of the three, poured neat by design, where a year or more of oak lays vanilla and caramel over the cooked-agave core.
