Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is an añejo tequila from La Alteña Distillery in the Jalisco Highlands, made by the Camarena family from 100% blue weber agave and rested for twelve months in charred-oak barrels that previously held Knob Creek Rye Whiskey for seven years. That cask choice shapes everything: cooked agave sweetness up front, then rye spice, caramel, vanilla and a hint of dried fruit, with oak and charred wood on the nose and a long, warm finish. It suits two kinds of drinkers especially well. Whiskey fans curious about aged tequila will find familiar barrel-driven flavors as a bridge, while agave enthusiasts get a chance to taste how a rye cask reshapes a Highlands añejo. At 40% ABV it sips comfortably neat or over a large cube, and it holds its own in a tequila Old Fashioned. We carry it because it is a genuinely interesting cask experiment from La Alteña, and a bottle that sparks conversation when poured side by side with a more traditional añejo.
Pairs well with
- Dark chocolate — The bitterness of dark chocolate draws out the caramel, vanilla and charred oak this tequila picks up from the rye barrels.
- Aged cheese selection — Nutty, savory aged cheeses play nicely against the agave sweetness and the dried-fruit notes on the palate.
- Tequila and whiskey tasting night — Pouring it alongside a rye whiskey lets guests trace the rye spice and oak that carried over from the Knob Creek casks.
