AGAVE TEQUILA

FUENTESECA MEXICO, JALISCO, NOM 1146 LIMITED BATCH RELEASE Fuenteseca Cosecha Tequila Blanco 89.6PF / 750ML This Cosecha bottling is made from over-ripe Highland pinto Blue Weber agave grown at 5,019’ elevation in the rugged, extremely mineral-laden CALICHE soil of Vista Hermosa, Michoacán, the southernmost region within the D.O. This area’s calcium carbonate-suffused, mineral-rich terroir is evident in Tequila Fuenteseca Cosecha 2018’s fantastically- heightened minerality that beautifully accents the pure agave flavors of sweet, cooked yams and warm baking spices. Fuenteseca Reserva Añejo 5YO 82.6PF / 750ML Fuenteseca Reserva Extra Añejo Tequila 2015 Harvest (Cosecha 2015) is an exceptional and rare tequila that has been aged for five years, resulting in a smooth, complex, and rich flavor profile. This tequila is made from 100% Blue Weber Agave, grown in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico, and harvested in 2015. Fuenteseca Reserva Añejo 9YO 84.6PF / 750ML Master Distiller Enrique Fonseca is a pioneer in extra-añejo tequila, experimenting with varied altitudes and barrel types—including French oak, bourbon, and wine casks. The Fuenteseca line ages from 7 to 21 years; when combined with the agave’s decade-long growth, some expressions represent nearly 30 years of production. Fuenteseca Reserva Añejo 7YO 84PF / 750ML Enrique Fonseca distilled this expression in early Spring of 2010, with three quarters of the bottling made in a double-copper column-still with removed plates to achieve a lower distillation proof, and the remaining quarter made in an alembic pot still. Half of the run was then stored in American white oak previously used to age California red wine, and the remaining half barreled. Fuenteseca Reserva Añejo 15YO 87PF / 750ML The highland agave used in this lot were harvested in Atotonilco in the Spring of 1998. The distillate was aged 15 years in a dry, earthen-floor aging room where a delightful faint sweetness was achieved by aging nearly all in American white oak, with only 3% laid into French oak. 75% of the white oak casks previously held Bourbon and the remaining 25% were California red

Distilled in 1995 using a blend of copper column (75%) and alembic (25%) stills, this expression began with six years of high-altitude aging in white oak rye casks. The tequila was then split between rye and red wine barrels for an additional 12 years of aging in a cool, coastal climate. Fuenteseca Reserva Añejo 21YO 88.6PF / 750ML This lot was distilled in copper double-column stills from mostly 1984 plantings harvested in late 1993 and laid into barrel in early 1994. The casks were stored for 10 years in a dry, earthen-floor room in Atotonilco el Alto, before being moved to a higher, cooler climate on the slope above the highland town, where they remained for 11 more years. Nearly all the barrels were previously used for aging California white wine, with one barrel having been used for aging Canadian rye whiskey.
