El Gran Legado De Vida Añejo Tequila is an incredible new Tequila from the Cascahuin distillery, and has been generating quite the buzz. It has earned its certified Additive Free Badge by Tequila Matchmaker, made using the single estate Michoacan agaves, which are cooked via steam injection in Cascahuin's traditional stone ovens for 3 days and then given an extra day to cool down before being crushed on the distillery's roller mill.
Fermentation occurs in stainless tanks before the double distillation begins. The first distillation happens on Cascahuin's stainless steel alembic still wtih a copper coil and the 2nd distillation takes place on the copper alembic with copper coil which brings the Tequila up to 55% ABV, proofed with the deep well water on site, and barrels filled at 44.5% ABV.
This tequila was rested for 15-30 days in stainless before being placed into American Oak, ex Bourbon Sherry Cask, and French Oak ex Cognac Martell VSOP barrels for 18 months, finally blended at cask strength.
This is the first Añejo Tequila by El Gran Legado De Vida, and the brand new ultra premium trademark bottling for the brand.
Aged for 18 months, and bottled at 43% ABV (86 Proof)
