El Tesoro Tequila Launches Limited Edition Mundial Collection With The Laphroaig Edition
El Tesoro de Don Felipe Tequila has launched El Tesoro Mundial, a limited edition series experimenting with “one-of-a-kind” single barrels of El Tesoro tequilas finished in unique casks that have previously held spirits from across the globe.
The inaugural release in the series, El Tesoro Mundial Collection: The Laphroaig Edition, integrates the peaty profile of an Islay Single Malt Scotch whisky with El Tesoro’s Añejo tequila. El Tesoro Master Distiller Carlos Camarena worked closely with the Laphroaig distillery team to create the expression, aged for nine months in ex-bourbon barrels and finished for four months in Laphroaig 10 Year Old casks.
Due to the variable nature of single barrel products, bottles of El Tesoro Mundial Collection: The Laphroaig Edition will have minor differences, but the general profile is described as having aromas of “citrus, pineapple, berries, oak, cooked agave, leather, and peat,” with notes of “roasted pepper, agave, maple, caramelized pineapple, barbecue, bacon, and sea salt” on the palate.
El Tesoro Mundial Collection: The Laphroaig Edition will be available in select markets beginning mid-November 2021 and carries a suggested retail price of $125.00 for a 750 mL bottle.
