This limited edition version was originally aged in traditional oak casks before being finished in Agave Tequila casks. The tequila used to create this expression originally contained a high-quality 100% Agave tequila produced from 7-8 year-old Agave tequilana, grown exclusively in the Altos (Highlands) region of Jalisco. Highlands tequilas, like this one, are known for their fruitier, more floral character.
