History
Avión Reserva 44 Extra Anejo Tequila is "the culmination of Avión's bespoke tequila
process," says Ken Austin, Avión's founder and chairman. After filtration, the tequila
is placed in oak barrels for 44 months - 43 of those months are spent in traditional
oak barrels, and the final month is spent in "petite" oak barrels which are rotated
daily. This unique finishing process imparts even more character unto the tequila,
and as a result, Avión Reserva 44 Extra Anejo Tequila has a deep aroma of roasted
agave, along with scents of vanilla and light citrus, particularly lemon zest. The nose
gives way to flavors of dried fruits, cinnamon and eucalyptus on the palate, which
leads to an extremely long and rich finish.
