RATED EXTRA-ANEJO TEQUILA FROM TEQUILA ALQUIMIA NOW AVAILABLE Reserva
de Don Adolfo Extra-Añejo Classified as “Exceptional”
OXNARD - January 23, 2011 — Tequila
Alquimia proudly announces that the long-awaited Alquimia Reserva de Don Adolfo
Extra-Añejo is now available. Made
from 8-year old organic agave, and aged for 6 years in oak barrels, the very
limited Lot 1 is finally here. The
Extra-Añejo has already earned a gold medal from the recent Chicago Beverage
Testing Institute’s International Review of Spirits (BIT), where it was the top
rated Extra-Añejo, classified as “Exceptional,” and described as “a cognac-like
tequila.”
In just
three short years, Tequila Alquimia has won a total of 12 gold medals at the
two most prestigious spirits competitions in the world: the BIT Review in
Chicago and the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Dr. Adolfo Murillo,
founder and President of Tequila Alquimia, says, “We are very proud of all four
of our expressions, the Blanco, Reposado, Añejo, and now our Extra-Añejo. They are all of excellent quality, and
have built up a very good following.
Until now, our Añejo has been our flagship product. We now introduce our Extra-Añejo, the
new crown jewel!”
A very
elegant presentation, the Extra-Añejo bottle’s black labels highlight the
antique gold lettering. The
bottles are made of recycled glass by a family of glass blowers in Tonalá,
Jalisco. The first (Lot 1) release
is available in a black box with a clear front, made from reclaimed wood
products. The tequila itself has a
very inviting dark golden color.
The aroma is very pleasant, without an aggressive presence of
alcohol. The unanimous praise at a
recent private tasting can attest to the quality and taste of the tequila:
“Exquisite,” “Incredible,” and “Phenomenal.”
The limited
Lot 1 of Alquimia Reserva de Don Adolfo Extra-Añejo is available at select
retailers, and by special order.

About
Tequila Alquimia
Tequila
Alquimia is the pioneer in organic agave and one of the very few tequilas that
boasts USDA Organic Certification. The production of Tequila Alquimia, from
cultivation to distillation, involves absolutely no chemicals, added sugars,
pesticides, herbicides, or any other artificial ingredients. Everything is done completely naturally
to produce an exquisite spirit made of 100% organic blue agave Weber.
The
Murillo family is the 3rd generation to farm Rancho Murillo in
Jalisco, Mexico. Led by Dr.
Murillo, an optometrist trained at the University of California at Berkeley, he
developed the organic agave protocol 18 years ago. The Murillos emphasize the many benefits of
organic farming among local farmers, including higher quality and productivity
of the soil, a healthier product for the consumer, and protection for farm
workers against harmful chemicals. By farming organically, toxic chemicals are
also kept from contaminating local water supplies. All of Murillo’s teaching is free, with the understanding
that once growers switch to organics, they will continue to teach others the
natural methods.
