Corralejo 1821 Tequila Extra Añejo

About Corralejo 1821 Tequila Extra Añejo

At the heart of Mexico, there is a beautiful hacienda just outside the town of Pénjamo in the Mexican state of Guanajuato: Hacienda Corralejo. It is a place drenched in history, the vibrant culture of Mexico and tequila making tradition. Originally built in 1700 and today surrounded by blue weber agave as far as the eye can see, it stands on the land where Father Hidalgo, a key figure in the Mexican War of Independence, was born. Most famous for his speech, titled the Cry of Dolores, where he called for the end of Spanish colonial rule, he sacrificed his life for the independence of his homeland. Today, the hacienda tells an authentic story of Mexico’s history, but also its own story, which was written over 300 years and can be admired in every corner of the estate as well as tasted in every single tequila bottle produced.

Corralejo 1821 Tequila Extra Añejo is one of those bottles. Honoring the revolutionary spirit and the year when Mexico gained its independence on the shoulders of great and unbreakable men like Father Hidalgo, this is a 100% blue agave tequila. Produced in copper pot stills and double distilled, it is aged for 36 months in a fine selection of toasted American oak barrels of maximum 52 gallons. The high-quality production and the long ageing process result in an impeccable, smooth flavor, but what really sets this tequila apart is the fact that Corralejo employs the 400-year-old Charentais method of distillation, the same method perfected by the French in distilling cognac. The sweet notes of cooked agave are complemented with spices and the smoky, woody flavor brought on by the fine toasted barrels. Coming in an elegant bottle, this award-winning, authentic tequila reflects hundreds of years of Mexican tequila making tradition.
