Partida Elegante Extra Anejo Tequila

Partida Elegante is crafted from the very best blue agave - Elegante achieves an exceptionally clean, pure agave taste that is unrivaled.  The spirit is then distilled and aged to perfection for more than 36 months in American oak to ensure a truly divine tasting experience. There are less than 1,500 bottles available worldwide and will be sold in select locations throughout the United States.

Distinctive and refined Elegante is enclosed in a stunning gift box and includes a crystal top for the Elegante bottle, which can serve as a decanter once the tequila is finished.  Tied around the neck of each bottle of Elegante is a unique and beautiful Mexican sterling silver Partida Tequila Spirit Bird necklace.

Partida Elegante Extra Anejo NOM 1454 Tasted on 4/3/08 at 3:20pm. Partida Elegante was donated to me be Partida but it typically sells for over $300. I tasted this tequila in my home and used a Riedel glass for tasting. Partida Elegante ages their extra anejo for at least 36 months which causes it to be a dark amber brown color. Intense aromas of this tequila include caramel and floral notes that are followed by moderate notes of fruit. In addition, mild aromas include vanilla and spice. In the mouth, the extra anejo is medium to heavy. While the tequila is semisweet, there is only the slightest hint of bitterness. When examining the flavors of Partida Elegante, first impressions include intense floral accents. On a second sip, I noticed moderate flavors of agave, vanilla, and caramel. When searching for deeper flavors upon tasting the tequila, one can taste mild notes of wood and earth. This tequila has a long duration of flavor and has a nice subtle numbing alcohol intensity. I awarded Partida Elegante Extra Anejo the rating of 91/92 points out of 100.
