Grand Mayan Tequila Ultra Añejo

Grand Mayan Ultra Anejo is double distilled, slow cooked in steel autoclave ovens, natural yeast is added to the fermentation, and they utilize a steel tower column for distillation. The Ultra Añejo is aged more than 3 years in American and French oak barrels, with 4 and 5 year aged tequila blended into it. You may see descriptions saying that Grand Mayan Ultra is categorized as an añejo, but it is aged OVER 3 years, and being that it is blended with 4 and 5 year old tequila, it easily is considered an Extra Añejo.

 

On the nose, aromas of cognac, burnt sugar, mild chocolate, and caramel delight, with some spice and a bit of vanilla and nuts. There are mild hints of apricot, smoke, and tobacco, with sweet, mild agave aromas rolling in at the end. The mouth begins with a rich, sweet, dark and oh-so-smooth taste, with a nice oily, caramel and chocolate note, followed by spice, with some heat at first, a dash of pepper, light smoke, fruit, and a touch of spearmint. There is a hint of citrus and a very faint tobacco note. The finish culminates in warm, spicy, caramel notes, with citrus and agave closing the doors on the exit. For those that want an unbelievably smooth, chocolate, caramel, sweet, clean taste, this is it. The ultimate sipping tequila.
