La Reina Raicilla Anejo is the extra-aged expression, wild 100% Agave Maximiliana raicilla rested in barrel for a year or more to bring deep oak, dried fruit, and complexity to Jalisco's other agave spirit.

Mood: amber, oaked, contemplative.

Sommelier
An anejo raicilla is a category almost no one has met yet. La Reina brings the depth of a fine anejo tequila to the wild-agave world, savor it slowly.

Tasting Notes

Rich amber. Aromas of dried fruit, oak, and caramelized agave with a whisper of tobacco. The palate is deep and layered, cooked agave, honey, dried fig, and warm baking spice from long barrel rest. The finish is long and complex, oak, dark chocolate, and gentle citrus lingering.

Food Pairing

Neat in a small glass, or over one large ice cube as a sipping spirit. Also pairs beautifully with dark chocolate, aged cheeses, or as the base of an anejo Old Fashioned.
