One Hundred Fifty Years of La Perseverancia
In 1873 Don Cenobio Sauza bought the "La Antigua Cruz" distillery and renamed it "La Perseverancia" — Perseverance. Three generations of Dons (Cenobio, Eladio, Francisco Javier) built it into one of tequila's foundational houses. For the 150th anniversary in 2023, the distillery reached deep into its extra añejo stocks — some barrels a decade old — and blended this commemorative release.

Tasting Notes
Aged agave depth from the decade-old components — cooked agave, oak, vanilla, and dried fruit layered over the younger stocks' brightness — long and warming at 80 proof.
How to Enjoy
Neat in a tequila glass or snifter, as befits a 10-year-old-stock blend. This is a sipping tequila for anniversaries and milestones, not a mixer.
