Cayéya Tequila Single Barrel Añejo

Description

Tequila Cayéya Single Barrel Añejo presents itself with unwavering authenticity in its cask strength bottling. The distillate embarks on a transformation, maturing initially within a singular American White Oak cask for a span of 15.5 months. This journey concludes with a refined touch as it rests within a sole French Oak cask for an additional 2.5 months, embodying the essence of a true single barrel, single finish Tequila – an unblended masterpiece. As you approach the glass, an inviting aroma fills the air. The nose opens with bold notes of toasted oak and caramel, a testament to the extended aging period. The fragrance is intense, with layers of vanilla, maple syrup, and toffee, creating a luscious and enticing bouquet. Hints of dark chocolate and espresso emerge, lending a touch of decadence. The high cask strength amplifies the aromas, adding an additional depth and complexity. With the first sip, the full impact of the distillate's prolonged interaction with the re-charred American oak becomes apparent. Rich flavors of butterscotch and dark caramel coat the palate, alongside an intense wave of toasted vanilla and charred oak. The higher alcohol content at cask strength intensifies the flavor profile, adding depth and complexity. Robust notes of dark chocolate, black cherries, and black pepper emerge, contributing to a complex and satisfying taste experience. The finish is exceptionally long and robust, with the flavors lingering on the palate. The charred oak and dark caramel continue to dominate, leaving a lasting impression. A delightful warmth persists, courtesy of the cask strength, providing a powerful and satisfying conclusion to the tasting experience.
