El Tesoro Mundial Limited Edition Anejo Yamazaki Finished

The worlds of Japanese whisky and traditional Mexican tequila collide in stunning fashion with the El Tesoro Mundial Collection: Yamazaki Cask Añejo Tequila.

A tequila that honors Jalisco’s earthy agave while embracing the rich, nuanced layers of Japanese oak and time-honored whisky aging.

Crafted by Master Distiller Carlos Camarena, this release celebrates El Tesoro’s ongoing global collaborations and unwavering commitment to excellence. The Mundial Collection is an invitation to explore tequila in a new dimension.
