Rey Sol Extra Añejo Tequila
Casa San Matías is committed to honoring the tradition and legacy that were transmitted to us by our predecessors. We’re proud of being one of the oldest family tequila distilleries in Mexico. Our story began in 1886 in the town of Magdalena, Jalisco, where Don Delfino González began small-scale tequila production mainly for family & friends. His tequila quickly gained popularity in Mexico. In 1940, we relocated our distillery to Ojo de Agua in Los Altos de Jalisco. This region’s rich soil & natural spring water are fundamental to the superb flavor of all of San Matias' tequilas.
In 1993 Casa San Matias introduced the first Tequila Extra Añejo to the world, San Matías Gran Reserva. In 1998, they went even further with Rey Sol. For Rey Sol, two pieces of art merge into one. From the creation of the decanter, designed by famous Mexican artist Sergio Bustamante, to the traditional method of production and its 6 years of aging in new French Oak barrels in the Hacienda San Matias, Rey Sol provides one of the most sublime experiences to ever grace a tequila. Majestic in every sense.
Rey Sol Extra Añejo Tequila
SKU: 173107
Case configuration: 4x750mL
100% Blue Agave, 40% ABV. Aged six years in new French Oak barrels. Intense bright amber with orange and copper highlights, with strong body and ever-so-slow forming legs. Initial aromas of oak, chocolate, vanilla, hazelnut, roasted almonds, and dried fruit. At the start of the palate, it is sweet and huge in bod, where the oak notes are dominant, and delivers a long lasting finish of chocolate and almond flavors. To be served in Riedel glass for fine dining. Pair it with medium-well red meats and as accompaniment to be enjoyed with dessert and coffee.
Distiller.com – 94 points – "This super-concentrated elixir straddles the line between tequila and liqueur, but finds its balance. Sweet, rich, vanilla, caramel, nutmeg, cinnamon and pecan coat the palate. However, tropical flavors of pineapple and mango mixed with a bit of pine sashay their way in, and it's tied together with a good dose of cedar and allspice. A little goes a long way here. Perhaps, as they say in Spanish, you need "only enough to fill a belly button" to end a good meal."
