A Tapestry of Tequila
Cincoro calls Gold "a tapestry of tequila" — the Blanco, Reposado, Añejo, and rare Extra Añejo woven together so the character reflects the generous 40+ month Extra Añejo component. CEO Emilia Fazzalari describes the experience as "reminiscent of a finely aged scotch or cognac." It joins only a handful of 100% de agave Gold tequilas on the market. For the rest of the lineup, explore the Cincoro collection and more luxury tequilas.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: toasted oak, vanilla, cinnamon, roasted nuts, raisin, and spices. Palate: sweet honey, toasted oak, vanilla, and dried fruits, balanced with a buttery nuttiness — smooth and fresh. Finish: cooked agave, cinnamon, chocolate, toasted almond, and a light ginger note; smooth and warm with hints of dried fruits and cream.
How to Enjoy
Savor neat or over ice to appreciate the full complexity — this is a special-occasion sipper, not a mixer.
