This extra añejo tequila, which was called "a sipping tequila of the highest order" by Men's Journal, was aged in a combination of former Scotch, Sherry and Cognac casks for nearly five years.
The Hornitos plata is 100% blue agave, double-distilled, and presented in a distinctive bottle whose label color reflects the age of the product within. A pioneer of the tequila industry, Sauza is now owned by Beam/Suntory.
To create this unparalleled expression, we worked with our friend and Jim Beam Master Distiller, Fred Noe, aging our tequila in the legendary Booker’s 30th anniversary barrels for over three years.
Rested in Chardonnay barrels for three weeks which creates aromas of fresh coconut, almonds, sweet orange and green apple layered over hints of elegant vanilla. Tastes of orange blossom tea with underscores of honey balanced with white pepper notes.
Tequila 1940 has a traditional process where agaves are cooked in masonry ovens for 30 hours of direct steam at lower pressure, slower cooking, 24-hour rest and 18-hour cooling. It has a slow natural fermentation, with a unique yeast exclusive to Casa Campo Azul and a slow distillation in stainless steel stills with a copper interior. It is aged in exhausted American white oak barrels that previously only aged tequila.
Made with 100% blue agave grown in the rich volcanic soil provided by Volcán de Tequila, sourced from two distinct regions of Jalisco, the Lowlands and the Highlands, each imparting a unique flavor profile in the finished product.
It presents transparency and very intense sparkles, with golden amber tones characteristic of a long stay in barrels. In the upper part of the glass there is a slightly note of banana and cherry, in a very subtle way we find a note of peanuts and walnuts, in the lower part of the glass we find floral notes of orange blossom and anis, in the middle we have the presence of rosemary, the sweet note of anise, dill and olive.
