Fuenteseca Reserva 7 Year Extra Añejo 750ML: A Masterpiece of Patience and Precision
Long before aging tequila became a refined art, Enrique Fonseca was a visionary, quietly revolutionizing the spirit's potential in the early 2000s. This Fuenteseca Reserva represents more than a tequila—it's a testament to patient exploration and uncompromising creativity.
Fonseca's approach defies convention. Where others saw limitations, he saw possibility. Experimenting with barrel types and aging environments, he transformed tequila from a quick-crafted spirit to a complex, nuanced experience. American and French oak, bourbon casks, wine barrels—each vessel tells a different story, imparting unique characteristics to the liquid within.
Consider the profound commitment behind this expression: Blue Weber agave requires 8-10 years to mature, and this tequila ages for an additional 7 years. Nearly three decades of patient cultivation and careful craft are distilled into each bottle. This isn't just aging—it's a multi-generational dialogue between agave, wood, and time.
Tasting Notes:
- Aroma: Cooked agave, cognac, oak, dried fruit
- Palate: Spicy sweet oak, caramel, cooked agave, vanilla, hints of black pepper, apricots, baking spices
- Finish: This is a spicy-sweet extra añejo with heavy oak and a sweet, dry finish
This is a sensory odyssey that unfolds with remarkable complexity. The nose is a sophisticated blend of cooked agave and cognac-like depth, with whispers of oak and dried fruit creating an intriguing prelude. On the palate, a masterful dance of flavors emerges—spicy sweet oak intertwines with rich caramel, vanilla, and the pure essence of cooked agave. Subtle hints of black pepper and apricots add layers of intrigue while baking spices provide a warm, inviting backdrop.
The Fuenteseca line represents a spectrum of aged tequilas, ranging from 7 to an astonishing 21 years. Each bottle is a liquid chronicle, capturing the essence of its journey from raw agave to refined spirit.
A sip is not just a taste. It's an exploration of innovation, tradition, and the extraordinary potential of tequila.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is all your inventory online?
We try to keep the store as updated as possible, but we always get new shipments. So if you don't see what you are looking for, send an email, and we'll check to see what Moose is hiding in the back room.
Why is beer available as in-store pick-up only?
Our temperature-controlled storage systems preserve beer's quality and flavor until pickup. By maintaining precise refrigeration, we protect each batch's unique characteristics and ensure customers receive the freshest possible product.
However, due to the challenges of maintaining consistent temperature during shipping, we exclusively offer in-store pickup for our craft beers.
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.
