Calle 23 Anejo 100% is double distilled in traditional pot stills. Aged for 16 months in ex-Bourbon oak casks to produce a smooth, clean and vibrant flavor with a hint of smoke.
The agave for a Calle 23 is slowly cooked in the steel autoclave for 7 hours, after which the temperature is turned down for the next 3 hours to ensure that the heart of the agave is cooked without burning the outside of the plant. Fermentation for Calle 23 uses steel tanks and different yeasts for each type of tequila. One type of yeast for blanco and another for reposado. Calle 23 works purposefully with varied yeast types and aging times to give each tequila type its own distinct profile.
The Blanco is thus created with two different types of yeast to crystallize the delicate agave flavor.
The reposado has a yeast variety in common with the blanco and the anejo and a yeast variety that is selected specifically for the reposado to emphasize the slightly spicy taste that belongs to a reposado.
In any Anejo, aging in wood is a large part of the flavor profiles imparted to the tequila. Here it is important to retain the most prominent flavor nuances, which are repeated in both the reposado and the blanco, so that you can recognize the tequila.
Medium dark amber colour, with a deliciously light shade of wood that intertwines with a rich touch of light vanilla and coffee. Seductively aromatic, with a successful balance between herbs and spices. It manages to be smooth and light, yet truly characterful. On the tongue you taste notes of freshly ground coffee and tobacco as a final experience.
