Casa Del Sol Angel's Reserve Anejo Tequila Finished in Cognac Barrels
Casa Del Sol Angel's Reserve Anejo Tequila Finished in Cognac Barrels is an 80-proof (40% ABV) luxury sipping tequila — an elegant blend of anejo aged 14 months in charred French oak and XO cognac barrels and extra anejo aged three years in cognac barrels. Co-founded by Eva Longoria with tequila makers Alejandra Pelayo and Mariana Padilla, it is the brand's pinnacle expression, inspired by Mayahuel, the Aztec goddess of agave, and the mysticism of 11:11 — "the angel's number."

An Homage to the Angel's Share
The name Angel's Reserve nods to the "angel's share" — the portion of spirit that evaporates during barrel aging, said to be a gift for the angels — while 11:11 honors the moment known as the angel's number. The innovation here is the cask program: aging and finishing highland agave tequila in XO cognac barrels is rare in the category, and it shows — honey, toffee, butterscotch, and dried fruit wrapped in a soft, balanced frame. This is a tequila built for intimate evenings and very serious sipping.
Tasting Notes
Indulgent and woody on the nose — honey, hazelnut, cooked agave, toffee, and dried fruit. The palate is soft and balanced: toffee, butterscotch, and dried fruit marry into a silky, elegant finish with gentle oak.
How to Enjoy
Neat in a snifter or copita, the way cognac drinkers would treat it — the XO barrel influence rewards slow sipping. It also elevates a "Million Dollar Margarita" beyond recognition. Explore more Casa Del Sol and our tequila collection.
