About The Product
Rey Sol Extra Añejo Tequila is an ultra-premium expression of 100% Blue Weber Agave tequila, representing the pinnacle of aging and craftsmanship within the industry. Produced at the renowned Fabrica de Tequilas Finos in Jalisco, Mexico, this tequila starts with carefully selected, mature agave piñas that are slow-cooked for extended periods, often in traditional stone ovens, to develop deep, rich agave flavors. Following cooking, the agave is pressed to extract the mosto, which then undergoes a meticulous fermentation process. The liquid is distilled multiple times, typically in copper pot stills, to achieve exceptional purity and refinement before it begins its extensive aging journey. For an Extra Añejo designation, the tequila must be aged for a minimum of three years. Rey Sol, however, pushes this well beyond the minimum, often aging for five to seven years, or even longer, in small American oak barrels. This prolonged aging process in specific climate-controlled conditions allows the tequila to develop remarkable complexity, incredible smoothness, and a profound depth of character. The interaction with the oak imparts rich notes of vanilla, caramel, dark chocolate, dried fruits, and a sophisticated woody spice, transforming the agave spirit into a luxurious and contemplative sipping experience. Each bottle of Rey Sol Extra Añejo is presented in an iconic, sun-shaped crystal decanter, symbolizing its regal status and the golden rays of the sun, reflecting the preciousness of the liquid within.
