El Tesoro Paradiso Extra Anejo Tequila

El Tesoro Paradiso Extra Anejo Tequila There is a mixture of barrel spices, raw peppers, and vanilla cream. The body fairly full and plush. The tequila really makes the biggest impact on the finish which is long lasting. This is where the cognac flavors come through there. It is a lovely combination of the two genres as the herbal, cooked agave notes are still present. A great after-dinner treat. Distillery Notes: "A distinct Extra Anejo tequila, El Tesoro Paradiso is slowly aged for five years in French oak ex-Cognac barrels. Created by Don Felipe Camarena in collaboration in with Alain Royer of A. de Fussigny Cognac, this unique tequila has an earthy taste with a hint of minerality. A mix of butterscotch and herbs, with soft hints of smoke, oak and tropical notes. We don’t want the tequila to have too many tannins, too much color, or too much influence from the barrels, because it could cover the agave flavor. We carefully age to enhance the flavor."
