Appearance: Deep amber with golden highlights, reflecting its extended aging in French oak.

Nose: Intense and decadent, with a mix of salt, pickle brine, and pepper, balanced by notes of cinnamon, lime, and verbena. A subtle woody aroma evokes the coastal character of certain single malts.

Palate: Smooth and round, with a shift towards peppery spice. Exotic fruits like pineapple and kiwi join forces with lime zest, while fresh ginger and dominant licorice notes add complexity.

Finish: Creamy and refined, with salt making a strong comeback. Each floral and fruity note dances between pepper and salt, with lingering fruit pulp in the aftertaste. The glass practically vibrates with flavor.

Overall impression: A luxurious, savory-sweet tequila that walks the line between tequila and aged whisky, offering a harmonious balance of spice, fruit, and salt.

Produced at the famed La Alteña Distillery, this special release is aged for a minimum of four years in French oak barrels, resulting in a rich, complex tequila with a character that bridges the gap between Mexico and Scotland.
