Description
Often called the "Loophole Tequila" by industry insiders, this bottle offers one of the most unique value propositions in the spirits world. Although aged for over six years, placing it well into Extra Añejo territory by time alone, it is legally classified as a Reposado because it matures in a massive 25,000-liter American Oak "Pipón" rather than small barrels. This large vessel limits wood contact, allowing the spirit to mellow and oxidize for years without losing its agave soul to heavy oak tannins. The result is a creamy, additive-free masterpiece that delivers the complexity of an ultra-aged spirit with the vibrancy of a younger pour, featuring notes of marzipan, honey, and orange blossom.
