Why Terralta Extra Añejo Barrel Strength is Special

Distilled from 100% blue Weber agave grown in the mineral-rich highlands of Jalisco, it carries a distinctive depth of flavour. Aged for 3 to 4 years in refill ex-bourbon American oak barrels, this Extra Añejo by Terralta develops layers of complexity while preserving the vibrant essence of agave.

What makes this tequila special is the barrel-strength bottling, with a higher proof of 110 (55% ABV), showcasing its robust profile without dilution.

The Terralta Extra Añejo Barrel Strength is crafted using deep well water sourced from 140 meters underground, imparting a mineral-rich character that enhances every sip, making it an ideal high ABV tequila for those seeking an unfiltered expression of Mexican craftsmanship.
