Corazon Expresiones Sazerac Rye Anejo is part of the limited Buffalo Trace barrel-aged tequila series from Corazon de Agave. This release rests Casa San Matias' Highland anejo tequila for 24 months in barrels that previously aged Sazerac 18 Year Rye - one of the longest-aged ryes in the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection. Bottled at 80 proof / 40% ABV with a 100% Blue Weber agave mash.
Expresiones del Corazon is a collaboration between Corazon Tequila and Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky. Buffalo Trace empties barrels from its most allocated American whiskey programs - including the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection - and ships the freshly emptied casks to Casa San Matias in Acatic, Los Altos de Jalisco. Corazon fills each barrel with its Highland Jalisco anejo tequila and rests the spirit in the residual whiskey compounds that have soaked into the wood through years of prior maturation. The filled barrels are stored in the first row of the aging facility - the level with the most controlled airflow - and tasted every two months until the desired character is reached.
Corazon Tequila is distilled at Casa San Matias, Mexico's fourth-oldest tequila distillery (NOM 1103), with more than 130 years of continuous production. The base tequila is 100% Highland Blue Weber agave, slow-cooked in traditional stone ovens, then pressed, fermented, and copper-pot-still distilled.
The Sazerac 18 Year Rye barrels arrive in Jalisco still saturated with 18 years of rye whiskey character. The 24-month finishing window for Corazon Expresiones Sazerac Rye Anejo is longer than most releases in the lineup, allowing the rye-spice and tannic oak from the donor barrel to weave deeply into the cooked-agave base.
On the nose, it shows moderately sweet cooked agave layered with fresh fruit, oak, and rye spice. The palate brings caramel, almond, cinnamon, and a soft rye-bread character from the Sazerac barrels, and the finish carries a long, lightly spiced close.
