Process & Profile
Adictivo Black Extra Añejo is born in El Arenal, Jalisco—a region celebrated for its rich volcanic soils and deep tequila-making heritage. Only the ripest Blue Weber agave, grown for 7 to 10 years, is selected for harvest. The piñas are slowly cooked in traditional brick ovens to extract their natural sweetness, then pressed using a roller mill to release the juice. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks with natural yeasts, followed by double distillation in copper pot stills for exceptional smoothness and purity. A defining feature of Adictivo Black Extra Añejo is its extensive 7-year aging in French white oak barrels. This process imparts a deep amber color with reddish hues and a sophisticated layering of flavors and aromas. The final product is bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof), showcasing the pinnacle of extra-aged tequila craftsmanship.Tasting Notes
