{"product_id":"amatitena-extra-anejo-tequila","title":"Amatitena Extra Anejo Tequila","description":"\u003cp\u003eAmatiteña Extra Añejo Tequila is a flagship, ultra-aged artisanal expression produced in Amatitán, Jalisco, Mexico (NOM 1477 Tequila Selecto de Amatitán) under Master Distiller Alberto Partida. Rooted in ancestral Lowland (\u003cem\u003eValles\u003c\/em\u003e) craftsmanship, Amatiteña is distinguished by its dedication to traditional, wood-fired production methods that predate modern industrial tequila making. Aged well beyond the three-year legal minimum for the Extra Añejo designation, this additive-free spirit marries the bold, wood-cooked agave character of Amatitán with profound barrel depth, oak complexity, and dried fruit richness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSpirit Description\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmatiteña Extra Añejo begins with mature, estate-grown 100% Blue Weber agaves harvested from the Lowlands. In keeping with ancient traditions, the agave piñas are cooked in mesquite and oak-fired brick ovens (\u003cem\u003ehornos\u003c\/em\u003e), imparting a signature whisper of natural wood smoke. The cooked agaves are crushed entirely using a volcanic stone \u003cem\u003etahona\u003c\/em\u003e wheel and fermented with airborne wild yeasts in open wooden vats alongside the agave fibers (\u003cem\u003ebagazo\u003c\/em\u003e). Distilled in small copper pot stills, the spirit enters select oak barrels often ex-bourbon and charred American white oak—where it rests undisturbed for a minimum of 3 to 5 years. Unfiltered and completely additive-free, it bridges Lowland agave intensity with mature wood elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep amber-mahogany with warm copper and dark gold reflections, forming thick, slow-moving legs in the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deeply complex, warm, and inviting.
