Golden and glittering in the deep green jungle…
Quetzalcoatl, the feathered serpent of the aztecs, flows majestically through space and time. His honey coloured eye winks at us, while we enjoy this golden spirit made in his name. La Serpiente Emplumada Extra Añejo has been aged for more than three years giving it a deep amber colour. The label is a beautiful gold giving the bottle a certain class which makes it stick out on the shelves.
Making a good Extra Añejo is difficult. It is a category, where the products are usually expensive and
expectations are high. Extra Añejos are almost exclusively used as sippers and that gives a high focus on smoothness, sweetness and depth of flavor/aroma. That said, is La Serpiente Emplumada Extra Anejo a well made version of the extra añejo category. The colours is amber and deep. The viscosity is oily and the flavor profile is round and mellow.
Tasting Notes
La Serpiente Emplumada Extra Añejo comes with a good smoky note which is wrapped in honey, full baked agave, vanilla, a bit of coconut and almonds. It has a fine sweetness, but it not sweet like rhum. A great sipping tequila which will look really good in a brandy glass!
