Corazón Tequila Releases Expresiones del Corazón 2023 Collection
Corazón Tequila has announced the Expresiones del Corazón 2023 Collection, featuring limited edition tequilas aged in barrels that once held some of the most-coveted whiskeys produced at Buffalo Trace Distillery.
The 2023 collection includes:
Corazón Artisanal Small Batch Blanco Tequila
The base spirit created by the artisans at Casa San Matias specifically for the Expresiones del Corazón Collection. It utilizes estate-grown agave with a higher sugar content and artisanal distillation techniques to produce “a refined liquid with a sweet, gentle flavor and powerful notes of cooked agave intertwined with hints of citrus and green apple.”
Corazón George T. Stagg Añejo Tequila
Matured for 22 months in barrels that previously held George T. Stagg Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, it’s described as exhibiting “salted caramel flavors that burst on the tongue followed by charred pineapple that slowly transforms to tobacco, leaving a sweet-yet-smoky lingering flavor.”
Corazón French Oak Añejo Tequila
Matured for at least 13 months in French oak barrels that previously held Old Charter Oak French Oak Bourbon, it’s described as exhibiting “aromas of rich oak and vanilla and a smooth and lightly-sweet taste offering hints of cooked agave, apple and caramel.”
Corazón Sazerac Rye 18 Añejo Tequila
Matured for 24 months in barrels that previously held Sazerac Rye 18 Year Old, it’s described as a “moderately sweet tequila with strong hints of fresh fruit met with notes of oak, caramel, almond and cinnamon.”
Corazón Weller 12 Añejo Tequila
Matured for 26 months in barrels that previously held W.L. Weller 12 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, it’s described as “moderately sweet with heavily cooked agave, toasted vanilla and a silky-yet-intense oak finish.”
Corazón William Larue Weller Añejo Tequila
Matured for 15 months in barrels that previously held William Larue Weller Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky, it’s described as “a harmoniously smooth and dense tequila with lightly-sweet undertones. The taster is greeted with aromas of wood, caramel and almond, then met with notes of chocolate, intense vanilla, nut, eucalyptus and chamomile.”
The Expresiones del Corazón 2023 Collection is now available in limited quantities throughout the United States at a suggested retail price of $59.99 for the Artisanal Blanco and $79.99 for the George T. Stagg, French Oak, Sazerac Rye 18, Weller 12, and William Larue Weller Anejos.
