MI FAMILIA FLORES 5 YEAR EXTRA ANEJO TEQUILA
JALISCO, MEXICO
Extra Añejos represent the pinnacle of tequila aging: complex, nuanced spirits that spend years developing character in oak barrels. The category demands patience from producers and, often, a substantial investment from buyers.
Which is what makes Mi Familia Flores' 5 Year such a great find.
It delivers everything we love about aged tequila … and with smoothness to spare. And folks, this is a first access of a new release of a Total Wine & More fan favorite, and clocks in at only $120 a bottle — a fraction of what you can expect to pay when it hits the shelves later.
This limited edition, small-batch bottling was crafted to commemorate the family's fifth anniversary making tequila, and we can only hope that it's the first of many celebrations for this talented family.
In our tastings, we found this to be an Extra Añejo of surprising balance and proportion, making it a tequila you'll want to keep around for all occasions, and for both mixing and sipping.
The nose barely hints at what's to come, with the sweetness of the agave coming to the fore, and an undercurrent of vanilla character from the oak following in its wake. On the palate is where the show really begins, as subtle fruit notes emerge, along with a backing note of dried fruits, such as raisins and figs, and — and most unexpectedly — a full-bodied, creamy mouthfeel.
Now comes the procession of spices: black pepper, cinnamon, and clove, followed by a lingering wave of toasted oak, caramel, and butterscotch, which is what lets you know how long this has had time to age and mature.
There are also, intriguingly, and seemingly out of nowhere, some wonderful floral notes that appear as you segue to the soft, spiced finish.
The 92 proof provides a good, sturdy backbone without any harsh edges, and you can taste the fruits of those 5 years of American oak aging in every sip.
There’s almost no setting in which it won’t thrive.
Sip it neat after a long day, enjoy it on the rocks during a lazy afternoon, or mix into cocktails when you want something elevated.
And watch, you’ll be ordering another bottle from us before you’re done, that’s how often you’ll find yourself reaching for it.
