From Field to Bottle:

• Crafted from 100% estate-grown A. Tequilana Weber Azul agave in Michoacán's village of El Cucuno, this extraordinary tequila benefits from the high elevation of 1,858 meters, where the agave was harvested in March 2011 during the dry season. The mature agave, 7-8 years old with an average brix of 32, promises a tequila of unparalleled richness and depth.

Distilled with Excellence:

• The heart of Mi Casa 9 Year Old Extra Añejo beats within the walls of Casa Tequilera de Arandas, NOM 1499 in Jalisco. Here, the agave is roasted for 17 hours in an Autoclave, milled through a roller mill, and naturally fermented with champagne yeast in stainless steel tanks without bagasso, then distilled twice in stainless steel pots with copper condenser coils in April 2011.

Aged to Perfection:

• This tequila's journey of maturation began in May 2011 and culminated in August 2020, resting in 4 to 5 times used Jack Daniels and Evan Williams barrels. The result is a 9-year Extra Añejo, a rare and venerable age for tequila, providing it with a character that's both complex and exquisitely smooth.

Tasting Notes:

• Appearance: A rich amber hue that speaks to its prolonged aging.
• Aroma: Opens with a bouquet of complex aromas, from the earthy sweetness of cooked agave to the warm embrace of oak, vanilla, and caramel, underscored by subtle floral and fruity notes.
• Palate: The palate is rewarded with a luxurious texture, where the robust flavors of dark chocolate, dried fruits, and toasted nuts are beautifully intertwined with the softness of vanilla and a hint of spice.
• Finish: A lingering, velvety finish that showcases a splendid balance of agave's natural sweetness and the refined, woody notes from its extensive aging in bourbon barrels.
