The Sun King of Casa San Matias
Casa San Matias, founded in 1886, commissioned Bustamante so the bottle would be worthy of the tequila inside it — two pieces of art merged into one, in the house's own framing. San Matias also claims a category first: its 1993 Gran Reserva was, by the house's account, the first extra anejo marketed.

Tasting Notes
Per the producer's published notes: intense bright amber with orange and copper highlights; oak, chocolate, vanilla, hazelnut, roasted almond and dried fruit on the nose; a sweet, full-bodied palate dominated by oak; a long finish of chocolate and almond.
How to Enjoy
Sip it neat and slowly — six years of new French oak make this a decanter pour, not a mixer. More extra anejos are in our tequila collection.
