ArteNOM Selección 1146 Añejo 750ML - Casa Tequileña is owned and operated by Enrique Fonesca, El Arquitecto, a fifth-generation grower and master distiller who holds one of the largest plots of agave in the industry.
 
This añejo is made to showcase the oak without overshadowing the agave.
 
At Tequileña in the eponymous town of Tequila, Jalisco, home to a range of celebrated tequilas, Master Distiller Enrique Fonseca distills agave predominantly grown in and around his highland hometown of Atotonilco el Alto.
 
For this añejo expression, Enrique ages select tequilas initially in used Cabernet Franc wine barrels from the Loire Valley of France for a minimum of 14 months. The tequila is then extracted from the French oak and laid into toasted American white oak previously used to age either Canadian whiskey or Tennessee rye whiskey, for a minimum of 14 additional months, for a truly masterful balance of oak and agave flavors.
