El Tesoro Mundial Collection Anejo Tequila Yamazaki Edition
El Tesoro Mundial Collection Añejo Tequila Yamazaki Edition – Japanese Whisky Cask Finish
El Tesoro Mundial Collection Añejo Tequila Yamazaki Edition is a rare and extraordinary limited release from the El Tesoro Mundial Collection — a series of exceptional tequilas created by Master Distiller Carlos Camarena in partnership with renowned distilleries from around the world. The Mundial Collection celebrates El Tesoro's tradition of craftsmanship by pairing their exceptional Highland Jalisco agave tequila with the finishing influence of the world's most celebrated spirits producers.
The Yamazaki Edition is a collaboration with Suntory's Yamazaki Distillery — Japan's first and most iconic whisky distillery, founded in 1923. El Tesoro's Añejo tequila, aged for 12 months in traditional American oak barrels, is then finished in genuine Yamazaki Japanese whisky barrels — imparting the delicate, complex, and distinctively Japanese character of Yamazaki's legendary casks to the agave spirit. The result is a tequila of extraordinary rarity and refinement — a true East-meets-West collector's expression.
