Volcán De Mi Tierra Tequila XA (70cl)

Volcán de Mi Tierra is named for the volcano whose eruptions, thousands of years ago, made the soil of Jalisco ideal for blue agave. It's distilled there by the Gallardo family, who have worked the region for over three hundred years - now with the backing of Moët Hennessy. X.A, short for “Extra Ages,” is the house's top expression: a blend of reposado, añejo and extra-añejo tequilas, all 100% Blue Weber agave with no additives.

Blending different ages like this is rare in tequila, and it's what gives X.A its range - the younger reposado keeps it smooth and lightly sweet, while the older components bring depth. Expect cooked agave, vanilla and caramel with dried fruit, toasted oak and a touch of spice, through to a long, silky finish. One to sip slowly, neat or over a single large cube.
