Description

A wonderful añejo Tequila, produced at the Tequileña Distillery in Atotonilco El Alto, Jalisco. Using agave grown at mid-slope elevation, the Tequila is aged for an initial period in Cabernet Franc wine barrels, before being transferred to ex Canadian and Tennessee rye whiskey casks for further maturation! Masterfully balanced and with plenty of complexity, this is a most enjoyable añejo.

It was released as part of the ArteNOM range, which explores Tequilas from a selection of distilleries.

The Master distiller of 1146 is Enrique Fonseca.

AROMA: Butterscotch, citrus, baking spices and vanilla
TASTE: The palate holds toffee, walnut candy, custard, orange zest, dark chocolate
BARREL: 60% 2 years French Oak, 40% 3 years in French oak. Blend is then finished for 1 year in ex-bourbon American oak.
ENJOY: Best enjoyed neat or on the rocks.

Provenance
At Tequileña in the eponymous town of Tequila, Jalisco, home to a range of celebrated tequilas, Master Distiller Enrique Fonseca distills agave predominantly grown in and around his highland hometown of Atotonilco el Alto. For this añejo expression, Enrique ages select tequilas initially in used Cabernet Franc wine barrels from the Loire Valley of France for a minimum of 14 months. The tequila is then extracted from the French oak and laid into toasted American white oak previously used to age either Canadian whiskey or Tennessee rye whiskey, for a minimum of 14 additional months, for a truly masterful balance of oak and agave flavors.
