El Tesoro Tequila Extra Anejo 85th Anniversary Limited Edition

Here’s a celebration steeped in heritage, meticulously crafted for tastemakers. El Tesoro’s 85th Anniversary Extra Añejo honors decades of family tradition with a bold twist. Aged at least 36 months in Booker’s 30th Anniversary bourbon barrels—layers of oak and warmth whisper through its rich, golden core. It preserves the soul of blue agave while weaving in sweet spice, leather nuance, and a caramel-drenched elegance. Every sip feels deliberate and personal, like discovering a hidden family heirloom.

Nose: Cooked agave opens warmly, followed by lush cherries, seasoned oak, leather, spices, molasses, vanilla, toffee, and a gentle hint of maple syrup.

Palate: Luxuriously layered—sweet licorice, blackberries, almonds and banana blend with oak, tobacco, coffee, spice, caramel, and a kiss of pepper.

Finish: Long, creamy, and decadent—spice-softened sweetness lingers without fading.

Pair with dark chocolate bark sprinkled with sea salt—the sweetness and texture echo the tequila’s richness. Serve alongside slow-roasted game hen smothered in ancho reduction for earthy balance. For dessert, try banana upside-down cake—its layered sweetness aligns beautifully with those cooked banana and caramel notes.
