Puntagave Double Barrel Anejo Tequila
Puntagave Double Barrel Anejo Tequila is a highland tequila taken two steps beyond ordinary añejo: 100% Blue Weber agave, double-distilled in 120-year-old copper stills, aged one year in used American oak and then split between new American oak (Nadalie Symphony toast) and new French oak (Nadalie Expression Rouge from the Allier forest), bottled at 41% ABV in a 750mL bottle. Made at Hacienda La Capilla in Capilla de Guadalupe, Jalisco under Maestro Tequilero Guillermo Barroso Arnaud, it is an añejo with genuine barrel complexity. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Two Barrels, Two Oak Forests, One Tequila
Most añejos see a single barrel type. Puntagave's Double Barrel starts with a year in used American oak, then divides the batch: half into new American oak with Nadalie's Symphony toast, half into new French oak with the Expression Rouge toast from Allier forest wood — the same cooperage pedigree behind fine Cognac. The two lots are married back together for a tequila with both bourbon-barrel sweetness and French-oak spice.

Tasting Notes
Rich amber with aromas of cooked agave, vanilla bean, dried apricot and cinnamon. The palate layers caramel and toasted nuts over agave earthiness, with the French oak contributing clove and dark chocolate. Long, warm finish of oak spice and sweet agave.
How to Enjoy
Neat in a snifter or wide-bowled glass — this is a contemplative añejo, not a mixer. If you must mix, a double-barrel Old Fashioned with agave syrup honors the oak work.
