Esperanto Seleccion Tequila Extra Anejo Supremo
Esperanto Seleccion Tequila Extra Anejo Supremo is a 40% ABV triple-distilled extra añejo from NOM 1602's El Llano distillery — the Orendain family's traditional Tequila-city distillery — presented in the brand's signature sculpted glass bottle with a blue glass agave plant at its center.

The Supremo Tier of Esperanto
Esperanto Seleccion's range climbs from blanco to añejo to extra añejo — and the Supremo sits at the top of that climb, the most rested expression of the "one who hopes" project. Sources disagree on the exact aging, but agree on the essentials: 100% blue weber agave, triple distillation, and the traditional El Llano distillery of the Orendain family, the same house behind Arette. Browse other extra añejo tequilas or the wider tequila shelf.
Tasting Notes
Brand copy describes the line in broad strokes — the extra añejo tier is positioned as the richest, most complex pour, with deep agave character layered under extended oak. Without a verified aging statement, the honest note is this: expect a dark, round, sipping tequila in the traditional highlands style, built for neat pours. Specific tasting claims are withheld pending the bottle read.
How to Enjoy
Neat in a snifter or Glencairn — an extra añejo at this tier is a cognac-hour pour. A single drop of water can open it; ice is optional and personal. Save it for the end of the evening, after the blancos have had their say.
