Extra Añejo Tequila aged in Bourbon barrels and finished in Rum casks for a complex, but earthy palate.

In a world of super-mega-conglomerates dominating international liquor distribution, Luxco stands out as one of the few larger, family-owned companies. But they have a large footprint. By our count they have 198 Spirit brands and variants across the full spectrum of adult beverages. If you have sipped at a bar or mixed cocktails at home you have had their products — from the classic Triple Sec to Rebel Yell Bourbon. 

El Mayor is a full line of traditional Tequilas — each a super example of Tequila-making. El Mayor Extra Añejo Rum Cask Finish is a limited edition Extra Añejo, perfectly crafted by artisans. But what sets this edition apart is that it has been aged for three years in ex-Bourbon barrels and finished in Agricole Rum casks for an additional six months.

We don’t know about you, but to us that sounds delicious. And it is.

The strongest Tequila available for sale clocks in at 75% ABV (150 proof). This shouldn’t come as a surprise, but drinking huge amounts of this spirit is likely te-quil-a.
Need a salt shaker and lime? Nah. The Mexicans take their Tequila neat and prefer to leave the lime and salt for their margaritas. Wouldn’t be a bad idea to follow suit.
Tequila labeled Gold (Oro) is your indicator (i.e., red flag) that you’re dealing with a mixto Tequila - unaged silver Tequila that has been colored and flavored with caramel to give the appearance of aged Tequila.
Tequila goes bad with time! Once you open a bottle of Tequila, you better be in the mood to drink it. Generally, you have one to two months before oxidation and evaporation diminish the quality of the Tequila and destroy the Agave flavor profile.
Tequila is made from one type of agave, Blue agave. Each of these plants takes at least 6 years, more likely a year or two longer to mature.
Tequila is like Champagne or Cognac. It has a Denomination of Origin, meaning it can only be produced in the Jalisco State, Mexico.
