While some might announce, as many agave heads do, that they typically take their tequila unaged to focus on the raw ingredient (“Blanco, please…”), it is impossible to ignore that rare bottle of aged agave that manages a minor miracle: balancing the welcoming warmth of oak with the unique character of the agave’s terroir. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eGrown to maturity between 6 and 8 years on the Vivanco family’s ‘El Pueblito’ ranch—and boldly bottled at full proof—this single barrel is an absolute masterclass in that tension. Maestro Tequilero Sergio Cruz weaves notes of harmony between the bright herbs and pepper, citrus, and charged minerality of the family’s estate-grown agave, and the oak’s echo of baking spice, confection, and deep earth. A gem to contemplate for years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Viva Mexico","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67626281304365,"sku":"7503000664317","price":229.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0851\/0272\/3373\/files\/110BD28B-4051-4DFE-B073-4B36E7D04393.jpg?v=1791599860","url":"https:\/\/www.hiproof.com\/products\/viva-mexico-extra-anejo-barrel-94-tequila-750ml","provider":"Hi Proof","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
