Tasting Profile & Food Pairings
Tasting Notes
This añejo tequila is aged for over 20 months in oak barrels, creating a rich and elegant profile. Aromas of cooked agave, caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak lead the nose. On the palate it is smooth and layered, with flavors of caramelized agave, butterscotch, dark chocolate, honey, and baking spices, complemented by subtle hints of citrus and warm oak. The finish is long, velvety, and balanced, leaving lingering notes of vanilla, sweet agave, and gentle spice.
Food Pairings
The deep, oak-driven character of this añejo tequila pairs beautifully with rich and savory dishes. It complements grilled ribeye, smoked brisket, or slow-roasted pork, where the sweetness of the agave balances the smoky flavors of the meat. It also pairs well with aged cheeses such as Manchego or sharp cheddar. For dessert pairings, dark chocolate, chocolate truffles, or caramel-based desserts enhance the tequila’s notes of cocoa, vanilla, and butterscotch.
About the brand
Cincoro is a high-end tequila brand born from a shared passion among five NBA rivals who became friends: Michael Jordan (Hornets), Jeanie Buss (Lakers), Wes Edens (Bucks), and Emilia Fazzalari and Wyc Grousbeck (Celtics). Launched in 2019, the brand is defined by its pursuit of "the gold standard" in tequila. In 2026, this partnership with the Los Angeles Lakers reinforces Cincoro's deep ties to the basketball world, with Jeanie Buss personally selecting the liquid for this commemorative edition.
