Corralejo Reposado Tequila, 70 cl, 4-CJ-001-38

Product Information

Straight from the heart of Mexico, Corralejo Tequila is made from 100% blue agave and is double distilled to be smooth, mellow, and delicious to drink. Coming in an Añejo variety which has been aged for at least two years in a French Limousin oak cask, the aging gives the tequila a rich, complex flavour profile with aromas of sweet cinnamon and vanilla, followed by sharper notes or orange and tart cocoa. The finish is long and dry, with a hint of citrus.

Corralejo ( pronounced [koraˈlexo]) is a town and resort located on the northern tip of Fuerteventura, one of the Canary Islands, facing the smaller islet of Lobos. It is in the municipality of La Oliva. It is surrounded to the north and east by the Atlantic Ocean, by dunes to the south and by arid desert land to the west that leads to the western coast and El Cotillo. Once a traditional fishing village, the town has grown significantly and today is one of the two main tourist towns on the island of Fuerteventura. Thanks to the large expat population, the town has a diverse population that varies from the local Spaniard, to the Italian, [1] Irish, British, German and Finnish people who have settled in the resort. On the palate, there are cooked agave notes featuring vanilla and caramel, as well as a bit of vegetal raw agave notes. There are fruit notes of cherry and citrus, along with smoke and spice notes of pepper and cinnamon.

The main bus service of Fuerteventura Fred Olsen Express, as well as Naviera Armas, offers ferry connections between Corralejo and Playa Blanca in Lanzarote But the sheer volume of tequila brands currently competing for shelf space means that there's truly a bottle out there for every consumer. The Consejo Regulador del Tequila, the spirit’s regulatory body, lists 1,754 tequilas currently in production—and these include bottles labeled blanco (unaged or lightly aged), reposado ("rested," i.e. aged in barrel for two to twelve months), añejo ("aged," i.e. kept in barrel for one to three years), and several other increasingly esoteric categories. Corralejo Tequila Reposado | The most popular tequila has been awarded three Gold Medals in international competition in the past five years! Under Mexican law, Reposado (“reposed”) tequila has to age in wood barrels for a minimum of two months. Americans, particularly the famous ones, are in love with tequila. Year after year, the category continues to grow in the States, according to the Distilled Spirits Council. In fact, new data suggests it's overtaken whiskey, and will overtake vodka at some point this year. No, but there is a strong historical connection between the spirit known as tequila and the town from which it takes its name. Located about sixty kilometers from Guadalajara in the state of Jalisco, Santiago de Tequila is where much of the original distillation of the blue Weber agave plant took place, and centuries-old distilleries are still in operation there today. The town is also the location of the Museo Nacional de Tequila (National Museum of Tequila), and is the hub of most of Jalisco's tequila-based tourism.

One significant difference between tequila and bourbon is how much of the flavor comes from the mash, and how little comes from the barrel. A reposado tequila is one that has been “rested” in the barrel for between 2 and 12 months. Instead of counting on the barrel for flavor, tequila uses the core of a fully mature blue agave plant and roasts to give tequila it’s unique and distinctive flavor. Corralejo slow roasts their agave for 27 hours in a traditional clay oven to bring out the most flavor and then is aged just four months in the barrel. The barrels are crafted from three types of wood including French, American, and Mexican oak. With a hint of peach, a sprig of fresh mint, and a splash of lemon juice, this creative take on a classic Margarita is the perfect complement to Corralejo Silver’s light peppercorn aromas and crisp flavors.

The area that currently contains the tourist resort and surrounding dunes was where Gadifer de la Salle and his expedition first landed on Fuerteventura in 1402. They had landed on neighbouring Lanzarote in the Summer of 1402, where they concluded a peace agreement with the local population and established a fortress from which they would coordinate their conquest of Fuerteventura. Jean de Béthencourt, who led the expedition to the islands, took a group of his men across the water from their fortress in Lanzarote to explore Fuerteventura.
