The first distillation occurs in Cascahuin's stainless steel alembic still with a copper coil. In contrast, the second distillation is completed in a full copper alembic with a copper coil, bringing the tequila up to 55% ABV. It is then proofed down with deep well water from the site, and the barrels are filled at 44.5% ABV.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Añejo was initially rested in stainless steel for 15-30 days before embarking on an 18-month aging journey in a thoughtful selection of barrels: American Oak, ex-Bourbon Sherry Cask, and French Oak ex-Cognac Martell VSOP barrels. Finally, it is blended at cask strength to achieve its remarkable complexity. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the very first Añejo Tequila by El Gran Legado De Vida, this release marks the brand's new ultra-premium trademark bottling. Aged for 18 months and bottled at 43% ABV (86 Proof), it's a testament to dedication and craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAroma: A complex bouquet of cooked agave, intertwined with notes of dried fruit from the sherry casks, subtle vanilla and caramel from the bourbon oak, and perhaps a delicate floral or spiced nuance from the cognac barrels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTaste: A rich and full-bodied palate, showcasing the natural sweetness of the agave balanced by layers of toasted oak, baking spices, and a hint of dark chocolate or dried stone fruit. The sherry and cognac cask influence should lend a refined complexity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Long, smooth, and exceptionally clean, with lingering notes of sweet agave and a warm, elegant oak character.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Spirits Cellar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50454720545001,"sku":null,"price":79.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0749\/3382\/9865\/files\/ElGranLegadodeVidaanejo.webp?v=1771268778","url":"https:\/\/spiritscellars.com\/products\/el-gran-legado-de-vida-anejo-tequila","provider":"Spirits Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
