FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Limited-edition El Mayor Extra Añejo Port Cask Aged tequila now available nationwide
ST. LOUIS (July 5, 2022) – El Mayor Extra Añejo Port Cask Aged tequila is now available at retail locations across the United States. The ultra-premium tequila is distilled from Blue Weber agave and aged for 42 months in port casks. Distilled and produced at Destiladora González Lux, this ultra-premium tequila has a limited allocation of 6,000 bottles at a suggested retail price of $129.99 per 750-ml. bottle.
“The port casks bring hints of oak and dried fruit into this gorgeous, full-bodied tequila,” said Graciela González, fourth-generation distiller and daughter of Rodolfo González, master distiller at Destiladora González Lux. “From the first rich sip to the smooth and sophisticated agave finish, this is an exceptional addition to the El Mayor Tequila family.”
As with every bottle of El Mayor, this limited-edition tequila is made with 100% estate-grown, Blue Weber agave from the valley area of Jalisco, Mexico. For this ultra-premium variant, only hand-selected agaves were cut, using the Jicama Jima method for a smooth taste. The finished product is bright and light amber in color while boasting hints of cinnamon and dark chocolate on the nose with a smooth, well-balanced finish.
“Ultra-premium tequila varieties and special releases continue to fuel strong growth in the category,” said Chelsi Hofmeister, assistant brand manager for El Mayor. “This latest limited-edition release of El Mayor is sure to be well received by consumers and tequila aficionados alike.”
El Mayor Extra Añejo Port Cask Aged is packaged in an embossed bottle inside a burgundy-colored decorative secondary box.
