The Story
Hacienda Sahuayo’s Mascara line honors the Tlahualiles dancers of Sahuayo’s festival with a sculpted glass mask for every expression — and the extra añejo is where the house puts its oldest spirit. Fifty-eight months in American oak (the class minimum is three years) layers maple, vanilla, tobacco and walnut over the cooked agave until the tequila pours bright amber with copper glints. It is a top-shelf bottle in every sense, and the natural finish to a tasting that starts with the Mascara Blanco.
Tasting Notes
Color & aroma: Bright amber with copper nuances; aromas from long barrel aging — maple, vanilla, tobacco and walnuts, with delicate cinnamon, cardamom, cooked agave, dried apricot and peach, and honey. Palate: Deep, silky and sweet-fruited. Finish: Very long, with oak, nuts and honey.
How to Enjoy
Pour it neat in a stemmed glass and give it time — this is a contemplative sipper, not a mixer. A single cube opens the dried-fruit notes for a slower evening pour.
