1800 Milenio Extra Anejo Tequila
1800 Milenio Extra Anejo Tequila is a 750mL extra anejo bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof), made from 100% Blue Weber agave in Jalisco, Mexico. After a long ageing in new American oak barrels, the house's tequileros select the best of the liquid and give it a further short maturation in French oak barrels that previously held Cognac — a two-wood finish built for depth in a dark amber-gold spirit. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

American Oak First, Then a Cognac-Cask Finish
Milenio was created to mark the millennium, and it remains the top of the 1800 range: the extra anejo ageing happens in new American oak, and only the tequileros' selected liquid moves on to French oak casks that held Cognac for a final, shorter rest. The result is a darker, rounder tequila than the standard extra anejo template — oak and vanilla up front, fruit and spice behind it, and a mint-chocolate close that is distinctly Milenio.

How to Enjoy
