ArteNOM Seleccion 1146 Anejo Tequila 750ml

Produced at the storied Tequilegna distillery (NOM 1146) in the town of Tequila, Jalisco, this anejo begins with highland agaves grown near Atotonilco el Alto, fermented in stainless steel using Mendoza wine yeast strains. What sets it apart is a two-stage aging journey: a minimum of 14 months in used Cabernet Franc wine barrels sourced from the Loire Valley of France, followed by at least 14 more months in toasted American white oak previously used for Canadian whiskey or Tennessee rye. The result is a complex, additive-free tequila verified by Tequila Matchmaker, with total aging approaching three years.

• Palate: Rich and layered, with cooked agave, dark chocolate, orange zest, pecan pie, and toffee unfolding beautifully across the palate.
• Finish: A captivating finish that balances dryness with lingering sweetness, leaving you reaching for the next sip.
