Put down the Courvoisier!! Partida Elegante has arrived.
Posted in Spirits, Tequila on May 8th, 2009 by halw РBe the first to commentDuring a recent event that Partida Tequila held I had the opportunity to sample their latest product, or maybe I should say their oldest product, Elegante Extra An̬jo.
Originally released in August of 2008, Elegante is aged in oak barrels for a time period of 36 to 40 months.
With taste nuances ranging from a deep chocolate, notes banana, ripe fruit, touches of cinnamon and even a bit of orange zest as you finish that first sip, this is one of those pleasures in life you appreciate for every second, until that final perfect finish.
When talking to Partida CEO, J. Gary Shansby, he feels that the Elegante could be equated to a fine cognac or a single malt scotch, and is not something to drink every night, but rather something to be savored and enjoyed during special occasions. In other words, please don’t even think about using this in those margaritas this weekend.
With a limited release of 1200 bottles and priced at $350, this is the most unique tequila A Muddled Thought has experienced, and worth both the adventure of finding a bottle.
Partida Elegante. Suggested to be served in a Champagne Flute.
