The El Mayor 25th Anniversary Extra Añejo Tequila is a limited-edition release created to celebrate the brand's 25th anniversary. Master Distiller Rodolfo González hand-selected 25 barrels of their oldest stock to craft this special expression. It is made from 100% Blue Weber agave from the valley region of Jalisco and aged for a minimum of 39 months in American white oak bourbon barrels, exceeding the standard for Extra Añejo. This extended aging in bourbon barrels imparts a unique character to the tequila.
