Corralejo Tequila, a premium brand deeply rooted in Mexican history, recently announced the launch of a new permanent core expression, Extra Añejo. The new tequila boasts notes of oak, smoke, citrus, and hints of agave sugar and caramel. On the noise, the beverage offers a sweet aroma that's balanced with spices. Lastly, the drink finishes with a well-rounded full-bodied finish.
"In addition to the cultural significance of launching Corralejo Extra Añejo ahead of National Hispanic Heritage Month and Mexican Independence Day, the opportunity within the luxury tequila category is extraordinary," said Marcel Durand, Vice President of Marketing, Infinium Spirits, Corralejo Tequila’s importer.
