El Tesoro de Don Felipe Tequila has introduced the second installment of “The Mundial Collection” Limited Edition Cask Finishing Series — El Tesoro Mundial: Knob Creek Rye Edition.
This añejo aged for twelve months in charred-oak Knob Creek rye barrels that previously held whiskey for seven years.
As a limited-edition one-time release, this is the first and only time El Tesoro has finished in Knob Creek rye Barrels.
“We are thrilled to introduce this exceptional new tequila, produced at our home in La Alteña with barrels so generously provided in the spirit of innovation by our friends at Knob Creek,” says Jenny Camarena, third-generation family proprietor and master of operations for El Tesoro. “My brother Carlos and I are the students of our father and grandfather before us, who were both proud tequila traditionalists, yet pioneers of their time who were always experimenting. The Mundial series allows us to pursue these creative paths in tequila, and the Knob Creek Rye Edition is no different. The way that our delicate añejo marries with the amazing full bodied, with balanced black pepper, sweet vanilla and rich spice flavors of the rye casks makes this fascinating tequila a delicious treat that we are incredibly proud to share.”
“Mundial” expressions are one-of-a-kind releases of El Tesoro tequilas matured in casks that have previously held some of the best spirits from across the globe. The first installment, released in 2021, was El Tesoro Mundial Collection: The Laphroaig Edition.
This year, El Tesoro Mundial Collection: The Laphroaig Edition will be available alongside the El Tesoro Mundial Collection: Knob Creek Rye Edition with updated packaging. Both releases retail for a suggested retail price of $175 per 750-ml. bottle.
This follows the release of El Tesoro Tequila 85th Anniversary.
