ArteNOM Selección de 1146 Añejo Tequila

ArteNOM Seleccion de 1146 Añejo is produced by Casa Tequileña, which is owned and operated by Arquitecto Enrique Fonseca from Atotonilco, Jalisco. El Arquitecto is a fifth-generation agave cultivator and master distiller. Blended from 60% 2-year-aged in French oak and 40% 3-year-aged in French oak. The combination is then aged for another year in American white oak. Medium dark amber with nice clarity. 1146 has a nice solid body with a heavy viscosity. First impression of the nose is a slight banana fragrance and buttercream, accompanied by fresh cooked agave. The juice feels silky on the tongue. Ripe banana, agave, and oak with some nuttiness on the palate. with a spice finish. Some hints of bourbon, presumably from the Kentucky bourbon barrels used in the final aging.
