About: Tequila Cayéya Single Barrel Añejo presents itself with unwavering authenticity in its cask strength bottling. The distillate embarks on a transformation, maturing initially within a singular American White Oak cask for a span of 15.5 months. This journey concludes with a refined touch as it rests within a sole French Oak cask for an additional 2.5 months, embodying the essence of a true single barrel, single finish Tequila – an unblended masterpiece.
Each bottle bears the distinction of a designated barrel and batch number, showcasing the ABV, and the signature of our esteemed Female Master Destiladora, Zandra Gomez. The culmination of these efforts spans a total aging period of 18 months, each moment a testament to the meticulous dedication invested in crafting this prized spirit.

FLAVOR PROFILE:
- The nose is delightful. Fully bloomed Lillies, orange peel, burnt caramel, and vanilla cream give way to toastier notes like maple syrup, brewed coffee and crumbly dark chocolate.
- The higher proof does wonders for this palate, which starts with ripe citrus & tropical fruit, and immediately highlights the oak aging with butterscotch, charred caramel & vanilla, and ripe black cherries.
- The finish is long and oak-forward, with trailing notes of dark chocolate, more charred caramel and cherry skins.
