Alquimia Extra Anejo 14 Year Old Tequila
Alquimia Extra Anejo 14 Year Old Tequila is a 100-proof (50% ABV) barrel-strength extra añejo — one of the longest-aged tequilas ever released — rested 14 full years in once-used Jack Daniel's whiskey barrels. The barrels date to Alquimia's very first 2004 production and sat sealed until they reached fourteen; the expression was introduced in 2019 from that original stock. Founder Dr. Adolfo Murillo's USDA-certified-organic, single-estate Highland agave is cooked in stone and brick ovens, crushed by roller mill, fermented in stainless steel, and double-distilled in stainless pot stills with a copper coil. At full barrel strength in this 750mL bottle, it drinks like the "Cognac of Tequilas" critics keep calling it. Order it online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Fourteen Years in the Making
Most extra añejos stop at three to five years; Alquimia kept going. Fourteen years in once-used Jack Daniel's barrels builds a profile that reads like fine cognac crossed with dark rum: dark caramel on rye, cedar plank, nutmeg, dark chocolate, cinnamon, cardamom, and toasted almonds, with a lively, fruity, medium-full body and a warming, very long finish of flamed orange, toffee, flan, and dark roasted agave. Even after fourteen years, cooked agave still shows through — the mark of the estate fruit. The 100-proof barrel-strength bottling keeps every bit of that intensity.

Tasting Notes
Nose: spicy aromas — dark caramel, cedar, nutmeg, dark chocolate. Palate: cinnamon, cardamom, toasted almonds over dark caramel and rye; lively, fruity, medium-full. Finish: very long and warming — flamed orange, toffee, flan, dark roasted agave.
How to Enjoy
Neat in a cognac snifter or Glencairn, with time to breathe — this is a contemplative pour. A few drops of water will open the spice layers; ice is optional but this bottle deserves the full-strength experience.
