El Tesoro 8 Year Old 80th Anniversary Extra Añejo Tequila

El Tesoro tequila was founded in 1937 by tequilero Don Felipe Camarena. His grandson, Master Distiller Carlos Camarena is now at the helm. El Tosoro is crafted from handpicked, 8-year-old 100% estate-grown blue agave sourced from La Alteña, an area with a highlands climate and mineral-rich soil. The piñas are slow-roasted for three days in an old-fashioned, hornos oven, before being crushed by a two-ton volcanic rock tahona. For this El Tesoro 80th Anniversary Limited Edition, the agave juice was extracted and distilled to 85 proof at a low temperature, with no sugar or water added, in bespoke copper stills crafted to Don Felipe’s specifications. This beautiful añejo is aged eight years in American oak ex-Bourbon barrels. It is one of the El Tesoro's most exquisitely aged Tequilas.

Distillery Information

Don Felipe Camarena was born into a family that had distilled tequila since back in the early 1800s but the family’s original distillery was destroyed and abandoned during the Mexican Revolution. As a young man Don Felipe followed his family’s roots by growing and selling agave to other distillers. He prospered and in 1937 opened La Alteña Distillery in the highlands of Los Altos close to the town of Arandas. Alteña literally translates as ‘lady from the highlands’.
