El Tesoro Mundial Collection: 2025 Yamazaki Edition Añejo is a limited-edition collaboration between El Tesoro of Jalisco, Mexico, and Yamazaki Distillery of Japan — a cross-cultural bottling unlike anything else on the tequila shelf. Distillers Carlos Camarena and Shinji Fukuyo finished El Tesoro Añejo for 12 months in authentic Yamazaki 12-Year-Old Japanese sherry and wine casks, bridging two of the world's most revered spirit traditions.
The nose opens with cooked agave, red berries, warm spice, and a delicate dusting of Japanese oak. The palate is bold yet refined — sweet agave, dark berry fruit, toasted spice, light sherry richness, and a clean, layered finish shaped by the Yamazaki cask influence. Serve neat in a tulip glass or copita at room temperature to let both halves of the blend speak. This is strictly a sipping tequila, built for a slow pour rather than mixing.
El Tesoro has been distilled at La Alteña in the Jalisco highlands since 1937, using traditional tahona and stone-oven methods. The Mundial Collection is an annual limited series pairing El Tesoro with other world-class spirits producers; the 2025 Yamazaki Edition is one of the most ambitious collaborations in the lineup to date.

Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is El Tesoro Añejo given a second chapter. Distillers Carlos Camarena and Shinji Fukuyo finished it for 12 months in Yamazaki 12-Year-Old sherry and wine casks, creating a limited-edition bridge between Jalisco and Japan. It is made from 100% blue weber agave at La Alteña, where El Tesoro has used tahona and stone-oven methods since 1937. The finish keeps the cooked-agave backbone intact while adding red berries, dark fruit, light sherry richness and a delicate dusting of Japanese oak. On the palate, dark chocolate, cinnamon, black pepper and vanilla bean lead into a long finish of oak, sweet spice and faint minerality. It suits the whisky drinker curious about añejo as much as the collector following the Mundial Collection year to year. We carry it because the collaboration shows up in the glass, not just on the label, and it deserves a slow, neat pour.
Pairs well with
- Dark chocolate — The tequila's own dark chocolate and vanilla bean notes mirror the cacao, while its baking spice keeps each bite lively.
- Aged cheese and roasted nuts — The oak, caramel and toasted bread tones stand up to savory, nutty flavors without being overwhelmed.
- After-dinner cigar — Leather, black pepper and a long oak-and-sweet-spice finish make it an indulgent, unhurried companion to a fine cigar.

What is the best way to drink it?
Sip it neat at room temperature in a tulip glass, copita or Glencairn so both the agave and the Yamazaki cask influence come through. If you prefer it chilled, a single large clear ice cube will slowly open up the vanilla and spice. It is built for slow sipping rather than mixing.
