PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This product of great excellence is 100% agave tequila, aged for 2 Years in American oak barrels. The flavour produced by time and by the craftsmanship that went into making the contents of its majestic bottle must be savoured to be fully appreciated SMELLS LIKE Rich tones combined with woody notes of chocolate, vanilla and walnut TASTES LIKE Silky with sweet tones that finish with a lingering wood taste on the palate. HOW IT IS MADE It takes 7 – 12 years to grow Blue Weber agave in Corralejo’s privately-owned Fields in Penjamo, Guanajuato. The 100% Blue Agave is slowly cooked with steam in stone clay ovens (called Horno’s) for 36 hours. Once the agave is cooked to a lovely caramel brown colour, it is then milled through shredders and crushers to extract the sweet juice at between 11 and 12 Brix (a sweetness measure). This extracted juice is then pumped into the fermentation vats where a further 36 hours of fermentation occurs in large stainless steel tanks. All Corralejo Tequila sees double distillation, the first, in a column still, the second is in alembic copper pot stills. What sets Corralejo apart from other tequila producers is the use of the Charentais distillation method, it is unique to Corralejo. This distillation method is centuries old, and perfected by the French, for exclusive use in making Cognac. Charentais distillation is proven to extract the maximum flavour and aroma’s during distillation. Corralejo Gran Añejo sees 24 months of ageing in brand new, freshly charred, American oak barrels before being bottled.
