Four Years in French Oak
Most extra anejos clear three years and stop; the Anfora keeps going. Tres Mujeres' brand story is one of deliberate craft: agave cooked in masonry ovens with no chemicals, no modified yeasts, fermented to classical music in a distillery whose thousand-barrel cellar speaks to patience. The result is a dark-amber extra anejo with toasted depth and sweet fruity aromas, silky rather than smoky. Compare it with more extra anejo tequilas and the Tres Mujeres collection at Del Mesa Liquor.
Tasting Notes
Per Del Mesa's live copy: dark amber with reddish nuances, excellent toasted flavor, sweet fruity aromas. CaskCartel adds: a warm, silky-smooth palate that is "not too smoky," and a unique, complex finish.
How to Enjoy
Neat at room temperature in a snifter or Riedel tequila glass — four years of French oak earned that. A splash of water opens the toasted, fruity aromatics.
