An Anniversary in a Glass
Siembra Spirits' Aniversario series is an annual limited release of unique, carefully selected tequilas — and this one breaks new ground as the label's first joven. The blend is built at Cascahuín, one of Jalisco's most respected traditional distilleries, under master distiller Salvador Rosales Torres: brick-oven-cooked agave, roller-mill extraction, open-air spontaneous fermentation in cement tanks, double distillation in copper alambiques. One component rested two months in Siembra-owned American and French oak barrels, giving the joven its pale straw color and a whisper of wood beneath the agave. The front label honors Salvador Rosales Briseño, the distillery's founder — heritage you can taste. The Daily Pour panel scored it 88/100.

Tasting Notes
Fresh cooked agave, citrus zest, green herbs, subtle minerality, black pepper, and anise on the nose. The palate shows roasted agave, lime, white pepper, and sweet tropical fruit with a creamy texture and crisp acidity; the finish is clean and lingering, with agave sweetness, soft spice, and a touch of brine. The brief oak rest adds harmony without muting the agave.
How to Enjoy
Neat, at room temperature, in a proper tasting glass — this is a connoisseur's joven, built for sipping, not shooting. Give it a few minutes open in the glass; the herbal and mineral notes unfold beautifully.
