Two agave distillates — one from highland Jalisco, one from lowland Jalisco — blended for a profile with the complexity of a fine Cognac.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eCincoro was founded by a group that includes NBA team owners and was built from the beginning with a serious production philosophy — 100% Weber Blue Agave sourced from private farms in both the highland and lowland regions of Jalisco, slow-cooked, and distilled in separate small batches. The highland agave produces a floral, fruity, and slightly herbal character; the lowland agave contributes earthier, more robust agave notes. Blending the two distillates creates a foundation more complex than either alone.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe Extra Añejo is then aged 40 to 44 months — significantly longer than the minimum three years required for the extra añejo designation — in ex-bourbon barrels stored in an underground cava, where temperature stability slows the maturation and preserves delicate flavors that above-ground aging can sacrifice. The result is a tequila with the aromatic depth of a fine Cognac: toasted oak, dried fruits, raisin, fig, coffee, and dark chocolate, finishing with exceptional length.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep copper with rich amber tones from extended barrel aging.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Toasted oak, dried fruits, a hint of cooked agave sweetness underneath.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wood, raisin, fig, light coffee, and dark chocolate — the highland and lowland agave character is evident but fully integrated into the oak influence.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Exceptionally long — the complexity of a fine Cognac, warm and evolving.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Extra Añejo Tequila\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cincoro, Jalisco, Mexico\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAgave:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Weber Blue Agave, highland and lowland Jalisco, hand-selected\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40–44 months\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCasks:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ex-bourbon barrels, underground cava\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003eExplore all \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/woodencork.com\/collections\/extra-anejo-tequila\"\u003eextra añejo tequila at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between highland and lowland agave?\u003c\/strong\u003e Highland agave (Los Altos region, 6,000–7,000 ft elevation) grows more slowly, developing a sweeter, fruitier, and more floral character. Lowland agave (the valley around the town of Tequila) matures faster and develops earthier, more herbal, and robust agave notes. Blending both produces a more complex flavor profile than either alone.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWhy an underground cava?\u003c\/strong\u003e Underground storage maintains more consistent temperature year-round than above-ground warehouses. Temperature swings accelerate extraction from the barrel — underground stability slows the process, allowing more gradual integration and preserving delicate aromatic compounds that rapid temperature cycling can drive off.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHow does Cincoro Extra Añejo compare to Don Julio Real or Clase Azul Ultra?\u003c\/strong\u003e All three are premium extra añejo tequilas from major Jalisco producers. Don Julio Real uses French and American oak; Clase Azul Ultra uses sherry-seasoned oak for a minimum of five years. Cincoro's differentiator is the highland\/lowland agave blend and the underground cava aging — producing a drier, more Cognac-like character.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eIs Cincoro a celebrity tequila?\u003c\/strong\u003e Cincoro was co-founded by NBA team owners including Michael Jordan and Jeanie Buss. However, the production philosophy — dual-region agave sourcing, underground aging, separate distillation by origin — reflects genuine craft investment rather than a licensing arrangement.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e {   \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",   \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",   \"mainEntity\": [     { \"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"What is the difference between highland and lowland agave?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": { \"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Highland agave develops a sweeter, fruitier, more floral character.
