One Hundred Months
Eight-plus years in oak is cognac territory, and Don Alberto treats it that way: French oak, American white oak, then a wine-cask finish that layers dried fruit and a whisper of wine over the oak's vanilla and spice. The "Black" bottling is the limited edition of the Gran Reserva line, named for Alberto Partida, father of the distillery's owner. For the extra añejo tequila shelf's top tier, a 100-month, wine-finished expression is genuinely rare air.
Tasting Notes
The aroma shows warm brown spices, dried fruit and vanilla. The palate unfolds oak, cherry, cooked agave, vanilla, smoke and caramel with wine and whiskey notes from the cask finish; the finish is long, rich and velvety.
How to Enjoy
Neat, always — eight years of oak and a wine finish deserve the full aromatic arc. A Glencairn or copita, a quiet room. Pair with aged Manchego, dark chocolate truffles, or dried figs.
