Corralejo extra añejo barrels are exclusively used for this tequila cask finish. Tequila Corralejo is the masterpiece of small-town Guanajuato, Mexico, crafted and created with over 250 years of storied tequila making history. It was the first estate in Mexico to produce tequila as a commercial venture, and as such, they are among only a chosen few tequila distilleries granted the right to produce tequila in a province other than Jalisco. The distillation methods of hacienda Corralejo have been preserved, refined, and developed by the local community into a of tequila.
