Description

Corralejo Añejo 99000 Horas tequila is made from 100% Blue Weber agave hand-harvested from the fields in the state of Guanajuato. After it is distilled using the 400-year-old Charentais method, this expression is aged for 18 months is small American oak barrels. Its name is a reference to the 99,000 hours it takes from the moment the agave is planted to when the amber-colored liquid is bottled. All of Corralejo tequilas are double distilled using the Charentais method, which is rare in the tequila industry. The fermented juice (mosto) is first distilled in a continuous or column still, while the second distillation takes place in an Alembic copper pot still, resulting in a refined and wonderfully aromatic tequila. If not bottled unaged as Blanco, the tequila is put in oak barrels to mature. The tequila is then bottled at the estate, giving its producers complete oversight until the very last production step.
