{"product_id":"tequila-anejo-castle-key-barrel-aged-amatitena","title":"Tequila Anejo, 'Castle \u0026 Key Barrel Aged', Amatitena","description":"• Añejo tequila produced in Amatitán, Jalisco (NOM 1477)\n• Maestro Tequilero Alberto Partida\n• 100% Azul aka Blue Weber (Agave tequilana)\n• Single estate agave from Las Rosas field\n• Cooked in a traditional, mesquite-wood-fired stone oven (without steam)\n• Milled using an automated tahona (traditional stone wheel mill)\n• Open-air fermented with fibers (bagasse) in wooden tanks (tinas) using spring water and ambient yeast\n• Distilled in historical wood-fired copper pot stills from the 19th century\n• Aged 1 year in Castle \u0026amp; Key Restoration Rye whiskey barrels\n• 2112 bottles produced\n• Aromas of herbsaint and marjoram, fennel and dill, avocado leaf, wet hay, raspberry seed, fallen maple leaves, fresh tobacco, burnt marshmallow; the palate brings notes of birch, a touch of salted caramel and toffee, cinnamon bark, baked pear, nutmeg, and sweet potato\n• Additive free\n• 42% ABV\nA hotly anticipated collaboration between two of our favorite young artisan distillers, this añejo tequila marries the distinct, terroir-driven approach of Amatiteña with the complex structure of rye whiskey barrels from Kentucky’s own Castle \u0026amp; Key Distillery and Speyside Cooperage. Aged on-site in Jalisco for one year, exclusively using ex-Restoration Rye barrels, Amatiteña’s Castle \u0026amp; Key Añejo walks the same line of balance between delightful decadence and contemplative complexity that the brand’s aged tequilas are known for while adding a unique spin. The tequila pours translucent pale gold in color, seeming to imply a delicacy that the spirit’s powerful profile immediately upends, with bold aromas wafting up from the glass and filling the imagination.\nThe tequila industry typically relies on the bounty of available ex-bourbon barrels for their aging needs, yet the green, herbaceous notes which rye whiskeys often offer arguably make a more compelling complement to the savory and vegetal palate of great agave spirits.
