Hey there, spirit enthusiast! Have I got something exciting to tell you about! Ever heard of Ancho Reyes? Well, they've just dropped a game-changer in the world of liqueurs - Ancho Reyes Barrica. This isn't just any old spirit; it's the world's first barrel-aged chile liqueur!
So, picture this: you've got these amazing poblano chiles growing in the volcanic soil of Puebla, Mexico. They sun-dry them for a couple of weeks to turn them into those rich, flavorful ancho chiles. Then, they hand-cut these babies and soak them in some top-notch cane spirit from Veracruz. But here's where it gets really interesting - they age this spicy concoction in ex-bourbon barrels for two whole years!
The result? Oh man, it's like a flavor explosion in your mouth! You've got that signature warm chile heat that Ancho Reyes is famous for, but now it's layered with these amazing notes of dulce de leche, spiced vanilla, cinnamon, and a hint of orange zest. It's sweet, it's spicy, it's smoky - it's a whole experience in a glass!
Now, you might be wondering, "What do I do with this magical elixir?" Well, my friend, the possibilities are endless! Sip it neat if you're feeling brave - it's surprisingly smooth for a 40% ABV spirit. Or, if you're feeling fancy, use it to put a spicy twist on classic cocktails. Imagine a Manhattan or an Old Fashioned, but with this complex, spicy kick. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you!
And get this - it even pairs amazingly with desserts. Next time you're nibbling on some dark chocolate after dinner, try a little sip of Ancho Reyes Barrica. It'll blow your mind!
The best part? This isn't some mass-produced thing. Each bottle is a work of art, from the tinted glass inspired by the ancho chile color to the beautiful copper-finished label. It's like holding a piece of Mexican craftsmanship in your hands.
So, what do you say? Ready to spice up your liquor cabinet with something truly unique? Ancho Reyes Barrica is waiting to take you on a flavor adventure!

What is the difference between Tequila & Mezcal?
Tequila is a type of mezcal, much like how scotch and bourbon are types of whiskey.
Tequila and mezcal are both types of agave-based spirits that are popular in Mexico, but there are some key differences between the two. Tequila is made exclusively from the blue agave plant, which is primarily grown in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, about 40 miles northwest of Guadalajara. Mezcal, on the other hand, can be made from any type of agave plant, and is often made using traditional, labor-intensive methods.
One of the most noticeable differences between tequila and mezcal is their flavor. Tequila is typically smooth and subtle, with hints of fruit and spices, while mezcal has a more complex, smoky flavor that comes from the roasting of the agave hearts before they are fermented and distilled.
Another difference between the two spirits is their production process. Tequila is typically made using modern industrial methods, while mezcal is often produced using traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations. This can give mezcal a more authentic, artisanal character.
In general, tequila is considered to be a more refined and sophisticated spirit, while mezcal is often viewed as a more rustic and traditional drink. Both are popular in Mexico and are enjoyed around the world, so the best way to decide which one you like is to try them both and see which one suits your tastes.
