"The Yamazaki Edition is a collab between Camarena and Shinji Fukuyo, The House of Suntory's fifth-generation chief blender. "It's a real privilege bringing this to you because to us, this means bringing together different stories, cultures and heritage together - House of Suntory from Japan and El Tesoro from Mexico," Camarena says. "We both share a lot of traditions and generational processes. And for me, Shinji is a superstar.""
"How it tastes: This El Tesoro release comes in at 42% ABV and, interestingly, at that low number, it's a cask-strength proof. It's balanced but also unexpected, with notes of red berries, sandalwood, baking spices, ginger, milk chocolate, cherry and cooked agave. I haven't tried a tequila like this before - and the agave notes do shine through - so I hope it becomes a permanent edition."
El Tesoro Mundial Yamazaki Edition is a limited-edition collaboration between La Alteña's El Tesoro (NOM 1139) and The House of Suntory. Jenny Camarena, master distiller and CEO, partnered with Shinji Fukuyo, Suntory's fifth-generation chief blender, to produce an añejo aged twelve months in Yamazaki 12-Year-Old Japanese sherry and wine casks. The release is bottled at 42% ABV and is described as cask-strength at that proof. Flavor profile includes red berries, sandalwood, baking spices, ginger, milk chocolate, cherry, and cooked agave, yielding a balanced, harmonious, and unexpectedly distinctive tequila. Prior Mundial editions included Laphroaig and Basil Hayden collaborations.
