Product details
The Fuenteseca 7Yr Reserva Añejo Tequila de Agave Azul 2014 Vintage is a masterful expression of aged tequila that marries complexity, precision, and artistry. Crafted using 17% Coffey column still distillation and 83% alembic copper still, this tequila showcases a unique duality of styles. Its maturation is equally intricate, with 17% aged in French oak barrels, imparting delicate and nuanced flavors, and 83% aged in Hungarian oak, renowned for its bolder fruit-driven character. The barrels are carefully situated—some resting in an underground aging warehouse, others in an above-ground cellar—both located in Tequila, Jalisco, at 1,180 meters above sea level. This meticulous combination of distillation methods, barrel types, and aging environments results in a tequila that is both richly layered and refreshingly vibrant.
The tasting experience is nothing short of extraordinary. On the nose, it presents an aromatic bouquet of chipotle peppers in mole, fresh-cut lemongrass, and ligero tobacco, mingling with the savory scent of herbs and peppers sizzling on a hot pan. The palate mirrors these aromas, unveiling flavors of spicy cigar box, fig-laden mole on green apples, sautéed herbs, and a hint of green papaya and chlorophyll. Its texture is intriguingly tingly, leading to a long, contemplative finish that balances barrel-aged richness with fresh green tones. Designed to be savored on its own, this tequila embodies the art of aging and blending, delivering a perplexing yet decadent experience that is both a testament to tradition and a celebration of innovation.
