Mexican tequila company Corralejo Tequila has announced the launch of a new limited-edition tequila called '25th Anniversary Extra Añejo Tequila.' There will only be 1,600 of these premium spirits available, making it a rare bottle targeted towards collectors.
The new product celebrates the company's 25 years of tequila making in Guanajuato, Mexico. The 40% ABV spirit is made from 100% Blue Weber agave and has been harvested by hand from the Hacienda’s fields, as well as processed via a slow-cook method for over 36 hours. The liquid was then aged for five years in whiskey barrels, providing the tequila with a robust flavor with sweet, vanilla notes.
“It is an honor to celebrate 25 years of Corralejo Tequila with such a rare and delicious liquid,” said Hacienda Corralejo, the CEO and Founder of Corralejo Tequila.
