FAQ
1. How is El Tesoro Extra Añejo different from standard aged tequilas?
It’s aged for 5 years — far longer than typical añejos — which gives it a depth and richness comparable to fine whiskies or cognacs, while preserving the soul of agave.
2. Is this tequila sweet or dry?
It’s well-balanced. You’ll get natural sweetness from agave and oak aging, with rich earthy and spicy undertones for complexity.
3. Can this be a good gift?
Absolutely. Its elegant bottle, rich history, and world-class flavor make it a thoughtful and luxurious gift for tequila lovers and spirit collectors.
