La Adelita Tequila Extra Añejo 80

La Adelita Tequila Extra Añejo 80 comes from a single-estate tequila program rooted in the highlands of Los Altos, Jalisco. The producer describes its agave plantations as sitting at 7,290 feet in the Los Altos region, where deep red soil supports the crop. The exact bottle is made from 100% blue agave and is labeled at 750 mL and 40% ABV (80 proof). Its amber-golden color and distinctive metal-clad base give the bottle a substantial, presentation-minded profile.

The producer states that this Extra Añejo rests for an average of 48 months in second-use American oak whiskey barrels that are re-toasted in Mexico to a medium toast. That maturation supports a polished sipping style, with the producer noting honeyed heather, sassafras, marzipan, apricot nectar, sweet milk chocolate, and white-peppered orange blossom. The long oak aging and layered profile make it suited to slow, neat service or a small pour in a tulip-shaped tequila glass. The front label identifies the expression as Extra Añejo and places it within La Adelita’s Single Estate range, with the 750 mL bottle carrying 40% Alc./Vol. and 80 proof.
