EXTRA
40 MONTHS OF DOUBLE-CASK AGING
Don Pilar’s Extra Añejo is aged in new American White Oak barrels for 36 months. Leopoldo and Gabriel—our master distillers—add a final, masterly stroke and finish aging it for an additonal four months in French Limousin Oak casks to impart a luscious fruity finish.
HAND-SIGNED, LIMITED-EDITION BOTTLING
To commemorate the uniqueness of this Extra Añejo, every bottle was individually numbered and hand-signed by Don Pilar. This first lot was limited to 10,000 bottles.
AN ODE TO TRADITION
Every bottle comes in a wooden gift box that tells the story of La Cabalgata, a Mexican tradition of horsemanship, faith and camraderie.
SHOOTING IT WOULD BE A CRIME
To experience fully, we recommend you pour this Extra Añejo in a wide-bowled snifter and sip slowly and luxuriously.
