San Matias Mission Exclusive Barrel Select Gran Reserva Extra Anejo 750ml

The nondescript, austere black bottle that is San Matias Gran Reserva Extra Aejo Tequila has been one of the bar industrys best kept secrets for well over a decade. Made at NOM 1106, the Tequila de San Matias distillerys aged bargain has long been a Tequila touchstone to those in-the-know, no different than how many of us feel about In-N-Out burgers or Arizona iced tea: a dependable, no nonsense product of quality that hasnt really gone up in price for as long as we can remember.

Thats why we always love tasting through private single barrel expressions whenever we get the chance. Sub-$50 for a dependable, butterscotch-laden Extra Aejo Tequila is already a great price as is. Its cheaper than many of todays most popular blanco Tequilas!

Our private barrel edition doesnt reinvent the wheel here, it just offers a bit more concentration in terms of that oaky richness and peppery spice. With lots of baking spices and vanilla up front, its a sipping Tequila that delivers insane quality for the cost.
