Forty Months of Oak in a Collector's Bottle
Extra añejo means a minimum of three years in oak, and Máximo Imperio goes past it — forty months that turn decade-old organic agave into something closer to a fine cognac than a cocktail tequila. The palate opens with brown sugar and vanilla, then layers stewed agave, cinnamon, and toasted oak with orange zest and dill on a smooth, refreshing finish. The ceramic bottle keeps light off the spirit and looks like sculpture on the shelf. See more from Máximo Imperio or browse extra añejo tequilas.
Tasting Notes
Dark amber in the glass. Nose of brown sugar and vanilla over full-bodied, refreshing aromas; a rich palate of vanilla, stewed agave, and cinnamon with toasty oak, orange zest, and dill; a smooth, elegant, lingering finish.
How to Enjoy
Neat in a snifter or copita — this is a sipper, not a mixer. Pair with dark chocolate, a fine cigar, or pour it after dinner the way you'd pour a XO cognac.
