Black Edition is Cava de Oro's extra-aged Añejo tequila, matured for 24 months in French white oak and finished for a further three months in new American oak. It is made from 100% blue Weber agave in Jalisco and bottled at 40% volume. MATURATION: the important distinction is classification. Under CRT rules, Añejo covers tequila matured for at least one year, while Extra Añejo requires at least three years. This bottle is best described as Extra Aged Añejo, not as the five-year Cava de Oro Extra Añejo. SERVING: serve neat in a small stemmed glass at room temperature. Its caramelised agave, vanilla and toasted-oak profile suits dark chocolate, cinnamon desserts, roasted nuts or a mild cigar.
