Corazon Anejo Turkish Delight Single Barrel Tequila 750ml

Let's dive into the story of how this single barrel of Tequila Turkish Delight came to be.

It all started when we got access to our first single barrel of Eagle Rare right at the onset of the pandemic. We had planned to go to Kentucky to pick our first barrel, but the circumstances changed everything. The distillery was running with a minimal crew, and we were fortunate enough to have Master Distiller Harlen Wheatley pick our first ever Eagle Rare single barrel. Even better, we could specify the flavour profile we wanted.

After the selection and as bottling was about to begin, we were asked if we'd like to "boomerang" the empty barrel by sending it to Mexico & filling it with new agave spirit distillate at the Corazon Distillery (Casa San Matias) . Fuelled by excitement & knowing there isn’t any other program available where you can select a single barrel of personalised Bourbon and turn it into a personalised Tequila, we eagerly agreed.

Fast forward to April 2021, when we released our Eagle Rare Single Barrel #1. Now, in late July 2024, we finally have the bottles in hand to share with you. This journey involved picking the barrel three times. Initially, the Reposado tasted great at the 10-month mark, but bottling was delayed due to ongoing closures at the distillery.

We sampled it again at 16 months, and it was perfect. However, bottling was postponed once more as pandemic severely impacted staff at the distillery. Finally, in December 2023, we selected it again, and it made its way to bottling and shipping.

After several years in the making, We are truly excited to release the first ever Corazon Single barrel into Australia for you to enjoy.

We've named this tequila "Tequila Turkish Delight," reminiscent of that Cadbury chocolate bar wrapped in pink. The tasting notes say it all: on the nose, you'll get rose water and lychees, with the classic Eagle Rare cherry flavour adding a touch of magic to this aged agave spirit.
