Wild Common Añejo Tequila Lot 1A is a masterfully crafted spirit that combines traditional methods with innovative aging, resulting in a complex and nuanced flavor profile.

Cocktail enthusiasts should seek out Wild Common Añejo Tequila Lot 1A for its unique blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern elegance, showcasing the expertise of Master Distiller Salvador "Chava" Rosales Trejo through a meticulous 72-hour agave roasting process and natural fermentation with agave fibers, resulting in a complex, 94-proof spirit that beautifully balances sweet cooked agave notes with subtle spices and rich dried fruits.
How do you drink Wild Common Añejo Tequila Lot 1A?
Wild Common Añejo Tequila Lot 1A shines when sipped neat or with a single large ice cube to appreciate its complex flavors, though it also elevates spirit-forward cocktails; enjoy it year-round, particularly on cool evenings, paired with rich, grilled meats or dark chocolate desserts.
Nose: Bright agave sweetness mingles with vanilla and oak. Subtle hints of cinnamon, fresh herbs, and a touch of citrus zest add complexity. There's a gentle undercurrent of caramel and toasted nuts.
Palate: Smooth and rich with cooked agave at the forefront. Flavors of butterscotch, dried fruit, and baking spices unfold. A pleasant peppery kick balances the sweetness. Notes of dark chocolate and roasted coffee beans emerge as it opens up.
Finish: Long and warming. The sweetness fades to reveal layers of oak, leather, and a hint of smoke. A lingering spiciness reminiscent of cinnamon and black pepper keeps things interesting. The finish ends with a subtle mineral quality typical of well-crafted highland tequilas.
Wild Common Añejo Tequila Lot 1A is crafted using a blend of traditional and modern techniques, including slow-roasting agave hearts for 72 hours in brick ovens, extracting juice with both a stone tahona and roller mill, and natural fermentation with agave fibers before double distillation in small pot stills and aging for 12 months in ex-bourbon barrels.
