This release rests Casa San Matias' Highland anejo tequila for 22 months in barrels that previously held Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon for a minimum of 22 years - some of the longest-aged bourbon stock the distillery has on the floor. Bottled at 80 proof \/ 40% ABV with a 100% Blue Weber agave mash. The fourth release in the Expresiones lineup arrived in 2018.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExpresiones del Corazon is a collaboration between Corazon Tequila and Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky. Buffalo Trace empties barrels from its most allocated American whiskey programs - including the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection - and ships the freshly emptied casks to Casa San Matias in Acatic, Los Altos de Jalisco. Corazon fills each barrel with its Highland Jalisco anejo tequila and rests the spirit in the residual whiskey compounds that have soaked into the wood through years of prior maturation. The filled barrels are stored in the first row of the aging facility - the level with the most controlled airflow - and tasted every two months until the desired character is reached.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCorazon Tequila is distilled at Casa San Matias, Mexico's fourth-oldest tequila distillery (NOM 1103), with more than 130 years of continuous production. The base tequila is 100% Highland Blue Weber agave, slow-cooked in traditional stone ovens, then pressed, fermented, and copper-pot-still distilled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Old 22 program is unique in the Expresiones series: most BTAC donor barrels previously held high-proof, age-stated rye or wheated bourbon, but the Old 22 barrels previously held Buffalo Trace's flagship bourbon for an extraordinary length of time - 22 years minimum. That much wheated-mash bourbon contact gives the donor wood a deep, syrupy character that translates directly to the tequila finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the nose, it shows rich cooked agave layered with deep caramel, vanilla, and well-aged oak. The palate brings dark caramel, dried fruit, baking spice, and a rounded oak frame from the 22-year bourbon barrels, and the finish carries a long, layered close with lingering spice and a touch of leather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProof: 80 (40% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAge: 22 Months in barrels that previously held Buffalo Trace Bourbon for 22+ years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCategory: Anejo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease: 2018 - fourth release in the Expresiones series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Acatic, Los Altos de Jalisco, Mexico\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDistillery: Casa San Matias (NOM 1103)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDonor Barrels: Buffalo Trace Bourbon aged 22+ years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Bottle Broz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67792097771750,"sku":"088004029340","price":199.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0508\/7313\/9356\/files\/btold22.webp?v=1792253483","url":"https:\/\/bottlebroz.com\/products\/corazon-de-agave-expresiones-old-22-buffalo-trace-barrel-aged-anejo-tequila-750ml","provider":"Bottle Broz","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
