CHICAGO — El Tesoro de Don Felipe Tequila and Master Distiller Carlos Camarena are proud to introduce the “Mundial” Limited Edition Series, a new venture in premium innovation and experimentation for the award-winning Tequila producer from La Alteña Distillery in Jalisco, Mexico. “Mundial” expressions will see one-of-a-kind single barrels of El Tesoro tequilas finished in unique casks that have previously held premium spirits from across the globe, all of which share a strong commitment to craftsmanship and high-quality spirits production.
The inaugural release in this series taps one of the greats in Single Malt Scotch Whisky – Laphroaig 10 Year Old. Introducing El Tesoro Mundial Collection: The Laphroaig Edition: a remarkable, limited-edition bottling bringing together two worlds of craft spirits mastery, marrying the proud distilling tradition of Tequila with the barrel-aging expertise of Scotch. El Tesoro Mundial Collection: The Laphroaig Edition skillfully integrates the peaty profile of an Islay whisky with El Tesoro’s rich, agave Añejo, showcasing the potential for innovation within the premium, aged Tequila category. Carlos Camarena worked closely with the Laphroaig distillery team to create this singular expression, aged first for nine months in ex-bourbon barrels and then finished for four months in Laphroaig 10-Year-Old casks.
Tasting notes will vary as this release consists of single barrel expressions, meaning each barrel presents a slightly different profile. The general taste profile is: AROMA: Citrus, pineapple, berries, oak, cooked agave, leather and peat TASTE: Roasted pepper, agave, maple, caramelized pineapple, barbecue, bacon, sea salt
El Tesoro Mundial Collection: The Laphroaig Edition is available in select markets at retailers and bars/restaurants as of mid-November 2021 for a suggested retail price of $125.00 (750ml). Beginning with this release, new Mundial Collection editions will be introduced in the coming years, each edition having been finished in different types of casks.
About El Tesoro Tequila Since the first drop of El Tesoro ran off the still of La Alteña Distillery more than 80 years ago, every decision has made to celebrate the agave’s unique flavor. El Tesoro is a truly authentic tequila made slowly and carefully to capture the agave’s essence in a bottle. The El Tesoro portfolio of core products available in the U.S. includes the following (all 40% ABV as El Tesoro is always distilled to proof): Blanco ($50 SRP), Reposado ($65 SRP), Añejo ($85 SRP), Extra Añejo ($150 SRP) and Paradiso ($180 SRP).
