Expresiones Del Corazon "Weller C.Y.P.B." Anejo Tequila

This aged agave spirit breaks traditional boundaries. Artisans at Casa San Matías rest this tequila inside barrels that previously held Weller’s famed wheated bourbon. It merges Mexican heritage with Kentucky provenance. These highly coveted C.Y.P.B. casks impart a distinctively soft, butterscotch-laden profile that fundamentally transforms the underlying Añejo spirit throughout the lengthy maturation process. You'll discover a wildly authentic cross-cultural collaboration.

The core foundation remains remarkably focused. Jimadors carefully harvest mature Blue Weber agave directly from the mineral-rich soils of the elevated Los Altos region. They slowly roast these piñas in traditional masonry ovens, extracting deeply concentrated sugars before undergoing double distillation in stainless steel pots. The entire process demands uncompromising patience. Matured at NOM 1103, the liquid pulls heavy vanilla and toasted oak characteristics from the seasoned staves while it doesn't lose core vegetal brightness.

• Aged in ex-Weller "Craft Your Perfect Bourbon" wheated whiskey barrels
• Produced from 100% Blue Weber agave at Casa San Matías
• Blends authentic Los Altos terroir with distinct Kentucky bourbon influence

Nose: The initial aroma is incredibly vibrant. Bright citrus zest and fresh mint immediately jump from the glass. Subtle wisps of light caramel and vanilla bean linger quietly underneath.

Palate: The texture coats the mouth instantly. Concentrated cooked agave wrestles with layers of dry fruit, warm baking spices, and a pronounced butterscotch richness. It's balancing sweet and savory brilliantly.

Finish: Gentle pepper and toasted wood fade slowly. The wheated bourbon cask leaves a surprisingly clean, minty freshness that energizes without any harsh burn. You'll catch lingering oak notes.

Barrel-aged spirits demand rich, savory dishes. Serve this Añejo alongside smoked pork shoulder with a tangy citrus glaze that complements the barrel char. The wheated bourbon sweetness easily cuts right through the rich, fatty meat while highlighting the spirit's lingering vanilla notes throughout the entire meal. Sharp aged Manchego cheese makes a phenomenal companion.
