Suerte Extra Anejo Tequila (750Ml)

Suerte began in 2012, when two friends from Boulder, Colorado teamed up with a master distiller in the Jalisco highlands. They make small batches of tequila at a single distillery.

Their process is slow on purpose. The brand says it takes about four times longer than the industry norm. Mature blue Weber agave is roasted for 52 hours in brick ovens. A stone tahona then crushes the cooked agave. The juice ferments with spring water from Atotonilco el Alto and is distilled twice.

This Extra Añejo is the long-aged bottle in the range. It rests for around seven to eight years in charred American white oak barrels that once held whiskey. The years in wood give it a deep golden color and a full body.

Expect a rich wave of oak, with vanilla and cinnamon right behind it. As you sip, ripe cherry and apricot open up, and a touch of honey and date can show too. The oak stays present but never dull. It ends with sweet, gentle spice from the barrel.

Suerte also puts care into sustainability, and the brand has earned praise in spirits reviews and tastings. Sip this one neat in a snifter or a tequila glass. Add one big cube of ice if you prefer a cooler pour.

Serve it after dinner with dark chocolate, a grilled steak or smoked nuts. It's a lovely bottle to share or to give. If you enjoy aged spirits like Cognac or older bourbon, this tequila will feel right at home in your glass.
