Review: El Tesoro Añejo Tequila

Posted by Arctic Wolf on June 16, 2023

El Tesoro is a premium tequila brand produced by Tequila Tapatio, S.A. de C.V. who make their teuila at the La Alteña Distillery. La Alteña was founded in 1937 by Don Felipe Camarena and is located near the town of Arandas in the Jalisco (Los Altos Southern) Highlands.

The distillery uses traditional means to produce their tequila preferring the Tohona Wheel to the roller mill for shredding the agave pina’s, after of course the pinas have been baked in brick stone ovens. They also use open air wooden fermentation tanks rather than stainless steel tanks, and of course they double distill the fermented juice in copper pot stills.

In 2021 Tequila Tapatio, S.A. de C.V.  was named Tequila producer of the year by the prestigious IWSC (International Wine & Spirits Competition.

Here is a link to my review for their aged El Tesoro Anejo:

Review: El Tesoro Añejo Tequila

“… This is one of those spirits where the taste descriptors do not do justice to the overall impact the spirit has as we sip. There is a sense of polish, as the flavour impressions sort of slip and slide together bringing about a feeling of balance and nuance which I find quite delightful …”

I hope you enjoy this review, as much as I enjoyed the El Tesoro Tequila spirit.

Chimo!
