Tinta Negra Supreme Extra Anejo Tequila
Tinta Negra Supreme Extra Anejo Tequila is a 40% ABV (80 proof) extra añejo made from 100% blue Weber agave in the Los Valles region of Jalisco (NOM 1477). It rests 5+ years in French oak barrels that previously held California red wines, then takes a flash finish in new, medium-charred American oak barrels. The result pours deep reddish-golden scarlet: cooked agave and sweet notes, complex vanilla layers, warm brown spice, crème brûlée, oak and maple, with a smooth agave aftertaste. A 750mL bottle of wine-cask-aged extra añejo. Order extra añejo tequila online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Red-Wine Barrels, Five Years Deep
Most extra añejos rest in bourbon barrels; Tinta Negra ("black ink") starts in French oak that held California red wine — which explains the deep scarlet colour and the vanilla-spice layering the producer's own notes describe. The flash finish in new charred American oak adds structure and maple warmth without overwhelming the agave. Browse more Tinta Negra tequilas and the añejo tequila collection.
