AsomBroso brand tequila, made by California Tequila LLC has unoficially created a new class of tequila. Vintage! They have come up with a very special anejo that has been aged for 11 years in 220 litre French oak casks and certified by the Tequila Regulatory Counci(CRT). According to Ricardo Gamarra, Founder and President of California Tequila, LLC, 21 years ago Enrique Fonseca Sr., a renown agave grower and tequila maker, decided to take his best organically grown agave and use it to make a special, longer aged tequila for his friends. He hand selected the 100% Blue Agave plants to become this special tequila and then took the freshly distilled premium silver tequila and sealed a cache of it into a few small casks as part of his experiment in making a longer aged Añejo. Twenty-one years after Fonseca Senior’s inspiration, and after aging 11 years in the French oak casks, his son Enrique Fonseca Jr., agreed with Gamarra to bottle and distribute some of this unique vintage anejo. Many of you may already recognize the phalic hand blown bottle that AsomBroso has chosen for its 5 varieties. Ricardo has done an amazing job getting his brand lots of attention and takes special care to see that anyone serving his tequila is carefully trained. The AsomBroso website is well done and full of information about the legend and story behind this award winning brand. Not sure about you, but we will be ordering a bottle as soon as we can so we can taste it for ourselves. If you are into fine tequila, visit their site. Better yet, order yourself a bottle and taste it.
