Tres Agaves Single Barrel Extra Añejo Tequila Review.

Tres Agave Single Barrel Extra Añejo Tequila


    This bottle caught me completely off guard, in the best way possible. Tres Agaves was a name I hadn’t spent much time with, and honestly, I assumed it leaned more toward budget-friendly territory. That perception changed fast after some digging online and a conversation at Market District in the Indianapolis area, where I learned this was something special. This single barrel Extra Añejo store pick is believed to be the first of its kind, and with an age statement of 74 months, it immediately demanded attention.

    Only 138 bottles were produced from this barrel, and mine happens to be bottle number 26. Seeing an Extra Añejo with over six years of aging at a shockingly approachable price already had me intrigued. Add in the fact that this was aged in Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey barrels, and suddenly this tequila felt like it was speaking my language.

Age Statement: 74 months. (Single Barrel).

ABV: 40%.

Mash bill: 100% Blue weber agave.

Area of Distillation: NOM 1614.

Appearance: Deep pale amber.


On the nose:
    The aroma is downright stunning. Sweet, rich cooked agave leads the charge, followed by a velvety cedar note that adds depth and elegance. There’s a gentle white pepper spice, toasted coconut, and just a hint of bourbon barrel warmth. What’s most impressive is what isn’t there, no harsh alcohol, no sharp edges. If you didn’t know better, you might not even guess this was tequila.

Taste:
   The first sip is lush and silky. Cooked agave remains the backbone, joined by white pepper, cinnamon, brown sugar, and a subtle fruit sweetness that leans toward papaya. Cedar and light herbal notes weave through the mid-palate, with a touch of oiliness that adds weight and structure. The bourbon barrel influence brings vanilla and spice without ever overpowering the agave.


Finish:
   Long, warm, and incredibly refined. The spice lingers softly alongside cedar, gentle sweetness, and a faint herbal note that keeps things interesting. It’s complex, balanced, and endlessly sippable.


Final Thoughts: 
    For $75, this bottle is almost unbelievable. A single barrel Extra Añejo aged over six years, with this level of depth and polish, feels like a unicorn in today’s market. This is the definition of a sipping tequila and a bottle that bridges the gap beautifully between whiskey and agave spirits. If you ever come across a Tres Agaves single barrel pick, do not hesitate.


Rating: +A (Perfection).

Cost: $74.99 for 750ml.

Maker's Mark Cask Strength 7 Year Bourbon Whiskey Review.

Maker's Mark Cask Strength 7 Year Bourbon Whiskey Review.           As 2025 winds down, Makers Mark surprised everyone with what appears to be a limited-age-stated run of their beloved cask strength bourbon. I’ve always had a soft spot for Makers Mark. It wasn’t a brand I fell in love with immediately, but somewhere along the way, it became a comfort bottle, a pour I reached for between bigger, flashier releases. Their lineup consistently offers strong value, and while I still haven’t tried the Cellar Aged, the rest are genuinely solid. Seeing this on the shelf at standard cask strength pricing made it an easy pickup.      This release is still their classic wheated bourbon, although Makers Mark doesn’t publish the exact mash bill. The side label offers some intriguing production details: a 110-proof barrel entry, 378 hand-rotated and hand-selected casks, and the note that each batch is “aged to taste.” That wording alone hints at future vari...

Old 55 Distillery Single Barrel Cask Strength Sweet Corn Bourbon Whiskey Review.

Old 55 Distillery Single Barrel Cask Strength Sweet Corn Bourbon Whiskey Review.           Old 55 Distillery is a small craft operation tucked away in Newtown, Indiana, just south of Lafayette, and they’ve built a name for themselves by doing something very few dare to try, making bourbon with 100% sweet corn. I’ve crossed paths with a few of their spirits before and have always respected the level of care they bring to the table: all distilling, aging, and bottling is done in-house, with a heavy emphasis on local grains. Their Bottled-in-Bond Sweet Corn Bourbon is the bottle most people around here know, but this release, a single barrel, cask strength version, was something I’d only ever seen at the Market District in Carmel, Indiana.       Sweet corn isn’t just a novelty for Old 55, it’s an expensive, labor-intensive choice. A bushel of the common yellow dent corn runs about $4 (2020 prices), but the sweet corn they use costs over $1,...

Ampersand Opimus 15 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Review.

Ampersand Opimus 15 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Review.      Ampersand is one of those new labels that seemed to appear almost overnight at the start of 2026, and it immediately caught the attention of enthusiasts. Founded by legendary blender and distiller Chip Tate, this release feels like a statement piece rather than a tentative first step. Seeing his name attached to a 15-year Kentucky straight bourbon finished in Tokaji casks was enough to send me bottle hunting the moment it hit the radar.      Opimus is clearly positioned as the flagship of the lineup, and the transparency here is refreshing. From mash bill to finishing time, there’s a level of openness that builds confidence before the cork is even pulled. Add in the fact that this is cask strength and reasonably priced for its age, and expectations were already running high. The mash bill is disclosed at 75% corn, 13% rye, and 12% malted barley, a combination that closely mirrors classi...
