Three Years on Earth, Bottled Like a Close Encounter
Alien leans into its Area 51 theme — the grey-alien bottle is one of the most recognizable silhouettes on the tequila shelf — but the liquid is serious: three years in neutral whiskey barrels lets the agave mature without the oak overpowering it. Amber in the glass, it drinks like a sipping whiskey drinker's tequila. Find more extra anejo tequilas and the Alien Tequila collection at Del Mesa Liquor.
Tasting Notes
Per retailer notes: amber color; nose of toasted oak, dark chocolate and dried fruit; palate of caramel, vanilla, spice, honey-toasted oak and citrus; a long warming finish. Cask Cartel notes agave and bell pepper on the nose with spice, vanilla and minerality on the palate.
How to Enjoy
Neat in a snifter — three years of oak deserve your full attention. It also makes a formidable old fashioned with agave character.
