Tres Quatro Cinco
Extra Añejo Tequila
(0.75l,
43.5%*)

You've got hundreds of acres of fine agave, what do you do? Fine Tequila, duuh.
Enrique Fonseca wasn’t always a Tequila maker. At first, he and his father were growing the finest agave for the two biggest Tequila producers in Mexico since the 1980s. But when the contracts expired (and the producers refused to renew them), Fonseca was left with hundreds of acres of agave. Sure, he could make Tequila, but Fonseca didn’t know how to make Tequila and also, he didn’t have a distillery. First thing, he bought La Tequileña distillery that had both alembic and column stills. Other Tequileros only had alembic stills. But he still had no idea how to use them. So, Fonseca went to the best in the game when it comes to column stills; he went to the Scots. With his new found knowledge to work those stills, he created an entirely new class of Tequila.
Fonseca blends Tequila from both alembic and column stills and he’s into ageing for longer periods of time, which makes his concoctions rich yet graced and bold yet delicate. Good thing those Tequila producers didn’t extend his contracts!
Tres Quatro Cinco Extra Añejo Tequila is a blend of 30% 3-year-old, 40% 4-year-old, and 30% 5-year-old Extra Añejo Tequilas. Aged in French oak, this stuff belongs in the highest class of super premium Tequilas from the Highlands region of Jalisco. The limited-edition crystal decanter was designed and signed by the Mexican artist Alonso Gonzalez Jr.

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.
In general, price of Tequila goes up with age, so añejos and extra añejos will be the most expensive and blancos the cheapest.
Tequila is like Champagne or Cognac. It has a Denomination of Origin, meaning it can only be produced in the Jalisco State, Mexico.
If the Tequila bottle label does not state that it’s manufactured from 100% Blue Agave, then, by default, that Tequila is a Mixto (manufactured from 51% Blue Agave).
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.

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 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.
