Cutwater Extra Anejo Tequila

Cutwater Extra Añejo Tequila is the most aged and complex expression in the Rayador tequila lineup — 100% Blue Weber agave from Jalisco, slow-cooked in brick ovens, open fermented, double distilled in alambique stills, then aged over three years in Cutwater’s own whiskey barrels sourced from the San Diego distillery, with the hand-drawn skull of Rayador (the Black Skimmer sea bird) on the label paying homage to classic Mexican folk art.

Three-plus years in Cutwater’s own San Diego whiskey barrels produces an extra añejo unlike any from standard bourbon cask programs — the specific flavor transfer from Cutwater’s American whiskey aging creates a tequila-whiskey crossover character that reflects both the Highland Jalisco agave and the San Diego distillery’s whiskey heritage simultaneously. A genuinely unusual and ambitious expression from a distillery that approaches spirits production with a brewer’s curiosity. Browse all Cutwater at Wooden Cork.
