About the product
La Colección El Tesoro Añejo Mundial presenta una colaboración única con Knob Creek, lo que da como resultado un tequila excepcional añejado en barricas de whisky de centeno. Esta expresión pasa 12 meses madurando en barricas de roble carbonizado, previamente utilizadas para el whisky de centeno Knob Creek, lo que le otorga un carácter distintivo. En nariz, se perciben sugerentes aromas a agave cocido, complementados con toques de caramelo y sutiles especias de centeno. En boca, emergen ricos sabores a vainilla, roble y un sutil toque especiado, creando un perfil equilibrado y complejo. El final es suave y persistente, lo que lo convierte en una excelente opción para disfrutar solo o en cócteles refinados.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairings
Taste Notes
This tequila is a "bridge" spirit, combining the bright, mineral-heavy agave of the Jalisco Highlands with the bold, spicy character of American rye.
- Nose: It opens with sweet roasted agave and stone fruits (peaches and apricot). This is followed by a "bakery" layer of vanilla, caramel, and warm pastry dough, with a distinct floral top note.
- Palate: The entry is smooth and creamy. You’ll first taste the roasted agave sweetness, which is quickly met by a sharp "punch" of black pepper, cinnamon, and ginger from the rye casks. Mid-palate notes include dark chocolate, orange peel, and toasted oak.
- Finish: Long and layered. It leaves a drying, tannic warmth with lingering barrel spice, sea salt, and mineral undertones.
Food Pairings
Because of its high rye-spice influence and rich agave body, this tequila pairs best with bold, complex, and savory profiles.
- Savory: Duck Carnitas with a Spiced Cherry Salsa. The fatty richness of the duck stands up to the rye tannins, while the cherry salsa highlights the stone fruit notes on the nose.
- The "Bourbon" Match: Smoked Brisket. The charred oak and caramel in the tequila act like a liquid companion to the smoky, peppery bark of a well-cooked brisket.
- Cheese: Extra-Aged Gouda or Mimolette. These cheeses have "crunchy" salt crystals and a butterscotch sweetness that harmonize perfectly with the vanilla and mineral finish of the spirit.
- Dessert: Spiced Mexican Chocolate Cake. The cinnamon and dark chocolate in the tequila are a natural mirror for a rich, chili-spiced cocoa dessert.
