Production notes

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. 

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.

Repost from @tequilarankings :

“ 🥇- Don Pilar Extra Añejo⁣
Deep and rich aromas of caramel, cinnamon, cloves, brown sugar, and sweet agave minerality. Across the palate are notes of light caramel, butterscotch, and pecan pie. Carries through with some alcohol heat into a lingering and complex finish of butterscotch, agave, and pecan pie. ⁣

A top ten extra añejo.⁣

TMM Score: 91/100”
