AsomBroso Tequila announced today the latest edition to their Ultra-Premium Fine Line of Tequila’s – one of a kind Ultra-Premium 11 Year Old, Double Barreled, Cabernet Sauvignon Anejo rested exclusively in Silver Oak American Oak barrels.
Ricardo Gamarra, owner and Master Distiller of AsomBroso Tequila, explains: “We approached Silver Oak because of their exclusive use of American white oak barrels. Our Tequila is rested in barrels from around the world, and resting this tequila with the Silver Oak American oak barrels has produced an absolute masterpiece!
Elegantly housed in a Crystal Decanter, hand made by Italian artist Luciano Gambaro, displayed in a finely polished Humidor and resting on a laser engraved custom pedestal, this one of a kind, limited release, 11 Year Old Cabernet Sauvignon Anejo is as stunning visually as it is on the palate – and will be available for the 2014 holiday season.
The use of American Oak is a hallmark of Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon. To ensure the long term availability of American oak barrels, Silver Oak formed a partnership with A & K Cooperage in 2000. Located in Higbee, Missouri, A & K Cooperage is a small, family-owned company that has produced premium barrels for over 30 years. It takes 80 years to grow an American White Oak tree to maturity and another 2 years to properly age the wood. From there, the wood is toasted to exact specifications and handcrafted into a 59 gallon barrel. AsomBroso ships the barrels to their distillery in Mexico, where they are filled with the AsomBroso “Vintage: 11 Year Old Extra Anejo, which then rests for an additional 3 to 6 months, or until Master distiller Ricardo Gamarra determines it has reached the right complexity.
Ricardo goes on to explain: “Our “Vintage” 11 Year Old Extra Aged Anejo won Best of the Best by the Robb Report and has won multiple Gold Medals. Rested in French Oak, housed in a decanter designed after the chandelier in the Bellagio lobby called “Fiori de Como” by world renowned glass sculptor Dale Chihuly, “Vintage 11 Year Old Anejo is a gem all unto itself and was the oldest Anejo of its time”.
The resting of my “Vintage: 11 Year Old Anejo in Silver Oak’s American oak barrels is exquisite!
