Corazon de Agave Expresiones 'George T. Stagg Barrels' Tequila Anejo

$189.00
Overview

100% Blue Weber Agave | Los Altos, Jalisco | NOM 1103 | 40% ABV

This one's a proper crossover. Corazon de Agave teamed up with Buffalo Trace and aged this añejo for at least 22 months in barrels that spent 22 years holding Buffalo Trace bourbon. That's where the "Old 22" name comes from — no marketing spin required.

Made from 100% Blue Weber agave in the Los Altos highlands of Jalisco, this tequila picks up real bourbon character from the barrel: vanilla, caramel, oak and a hint of dark chocolate. If you like your tequila with a whiskey lean, this is worth grabbing.

It's a limited run, so once it's gone, it's gone.

Distillery Information

Made at Casa San Matías (NOM 1103) in the Los Altos highlands of Jalisco, one of the most respected producers in the region. Corazon de Agave uses the Expresiones del Corazón line to experiment with different barrel finishes, and the Buffalo Trace collaboration is one of the most sought-after in the range.

Each bottle comes with a cork stopper and a handwritten label noting the barrel, bottle number and bottling date, so no two runs are quite the same.
