Revolucion Extra Anejo Tequila

Tequila Revolucion prides themselves in selecting 7-9 year Blue Weber Agave and baking the pinas in traditional brick ovens. The resulting liquid is fermented and then given a double-distillation process. The bottle has two interesting features: first, an engraving of two pistols; second, 45ml markers on the bottle so that pouring can be precisely measured. (This latter is a bit baffling to us--how do you use the markers while pouring?) According to the write-up in The Tasting Panel Magazine (May 2012), the brand was founded by Juan Carlos Arav Fortique in 1995 based upon the "best raw ingredients" for a product that would "rebel against the ordinary." Tequila Extra Anejo is aged for 4 years in oak and a spirit they consider the "jewel" of their lineup. It is aged in French oak barrels that previously held tequlia for a minimum of 10 years. They say it has a "strong personality" and creates a "luxurious experience.
