Joel Richard Extra Añejo Organic Tequila:
A Masterpiece of Time and Craft
Indulge in the exquisite Joel Richard Extra Añejo, a testament to patience, meticulous craftsmanship, and the pursuit of unparalleled flavor. This limited-edition tequila, aged for four luxurious years in newly charred French oak barrels, represents the pinnacle of organic tequila production from the esteemed Joel Richard brand. This exceptional Extra Añejo has been carefully selected by the experts at Joel Richard for their very special collection, reflecting the brand's unwavering commitment to super-premium quality. The intricate and expensive aging process has yielded a tequila of remarkable depth and character, a true collector's item with only 4500 bottles produced. Each bottle contains a small batch, double-distilled creation, meticulously tailored to perfection.
Tasting Notes:
- Aroma: Expect an intense and complex bouquet dominated by the influence of the French oak. This likely includes rich vanilla, caramel, and toffee notes, potentially intertwined with hints of baking spices like cinnamon and clove. Given the "newly charred" barrels, a subtle smoky or roasted undertone is also probable, adding depth and intrigue.
- Palate: Extended aging will result in a smooth and velvety texture, coating the palate with layers of flavor. The sweetness from the oak will likely translate to prominent notes of caramel and vanilla, balanced by the warmth of the spice. Expect a significant presence of oak, potentially with notes of dark chocolate, dried fruit (like fig or raisin), and a hint of tobacco or leather, adding complexity and sophistication. The organic agave will still be present, offering a foundational sweetness and earthiness, but will be beautifully integrated with the barrel influence.
- Finish: The finish will be long and lingering, a testament to the four years of maturation. Expect the oak-derived flavors to persist, with a gentle warmth and a subtle return of the agave notes, leaving a lasting impression of elegance and refinement.
Joel Richard Extra Añejo is more than just a tequila; it's an experience crafted by a brand dedicated to excellence. The extended aging in new French oak has undoubtedly imparted a rich and complex profile, making it a spirit to be savored slowly and thoughtfully. The limited availability underscores its exclusivity and premium nature. This is a tequila for those who appreciate the artistry of fine spirits and seek a truly exceptional tasting journey from a brand renowned for its quality.

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.
