Corazón Weller 12 Year Expresiones Tequila Anejo 750mL

Corazón Expresiones Weller 12 Añejo Tequila

750 mL | 80 Proof (40% ABV) | Añejo Tequila | Casa San Matías, Los Altos, Jalisco | Aged 26 Months in Weller 12 Year Bourbon Barrels

Process & Profile

Blue Weber agaves grown on the highland estate are slow‑roasted in stone ovens, roller‑milled, and twice distilled in stainless‑steel pot stills with natural spring water. The fresh tequila then rests for 26 months in barrels that once held Buffalo Trace’s acclaimed Weller 12 Year wheated bourbon, layering rich vanilla, caramel, and toasted oak over bright cooked‑agave sweetness.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Toasted vanilla, baked agave, and almond nougat with hints of dried fruit.

• Palate: Sweet cooked agave entwines with silky caramel, dark chocolate, and seasoned oak.

• Finish: Long and warming, echoing vanilla‑spice and gentle bourbon depth.

What Makes It Special

• Limited “Expresiones del Corazón” release aged exclusively in Weller 12 Year bourbon casks

• Highland agave slow‑roasted for exceptional depth and natural sweetness

• Collaboration between Casa San Matías (est. 1886) and Buffalo Trace Distillery

• Additive‑free, bottled at an approachable 80 proof to highlight nuanced barrel influence

• Sought after by tequila aficionados and bourbon‑cask collectors alike

How to Enjoy

Sip neat in a copita to capture the layered aromatics, or add a single ice sphere to reveal deeper vanilla tones. It elevates an Oaxaca Old Fashioned with agave nectar and chocolate bitters, or shines in an Añejo Manhattan with sweet vermouth and mole bitters.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Does this tequila contain any additives?
   No. All color and flavor come solely from mature agave and time in bourbon barrels.

2. How limited is the release?
   Each vintage is highly allocated; bottles often sell out quickly once distributed.

3. Will it taste like bourbon?
   Expect complementary vanilla, oak, and caramel notes layered over classic cooked‑agave sweetness rather than an overt whiskey profile.

4. Is it certified additive‑free?
   While not formally certified, Casa San Matías follows traditional, additive‑free methods.
