Sacred Earth, Los Valles Oak
Tierra Sagrada takes its name — sacred land — from the volcanic soils of the Tequila Valley, where its Blue Weber agave grows around Amatitan in Jalisco's Los Valles. Where highland tequilas lean bright and floral, valley tequilas lean earthy and cooked-agave sweet, and the anejo's French oak rest lays wood, caramel and dried fruit over that base. The brand has moved distilleries over its life (its current NOM is 1477, Destiladora del Valle de Tequila) and built its following on a rich, approachable, oak-led style. Find it in our tequila collection and the anejo shelves, or see the brand on the Tierra Sagrada vendor page.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Intense wood and toasted oak over roasted cooked agave, caramel, vanilla, dried fruit and light spice (retailer consensus). Palate: Silky and full-bodied — honey, dark chocolate, soft fruit and warm spice over cooked agave. Finish: Long, smooth and lingering, oak and sweet agave with a touch of spice.
How to Enjoy
Neat at room temperature is the natural serve for an oak-forward anejo; a single large ice cube softens the sweetness into caramel and chocolate if you prefer it chilled.
