In the increasingly sophisticated world of premium spirits, Cincoro Tequila continues to carve out its own territory. The brand, co-founded in 2019 by basketball legend Michael Jordan and a distinguished group of entrepreneurs and sports personalities, has unveiled Añejo Reserva, a limited-edition expression that brings together two distinct stages of tequila maturation.
Crafted from 100% Blue Weber agave sourced from both the highlands and lowlands of Jalisco, the new release reflects a thoughtful approach to blending. Its foundation is an añejo tequila aged for 28 months in Tennessee whiskey barrels, subsequently married with extra añejo reserves to create a more layered and nuanced character. Bottled at 40% ABV, the result is an elegant interpretation of aged tequila, balancing the influence of oak with the distinctive personality of agave.
What makes Añejo Reserva particularly intriguing is the interplay between its components. Rather than relying solely on extended maturation, Cincoro explores the possibilities of blending, using different ageing profiles to introduce greater depth and complexity. It is an approach more commonly associated with the finest traditions of whisky and cognac production.
The launch also reinforces Cincoro’s positioning at the intersection of contemporary luxury and spirits craftsmanship. With Michael Jordan and co-founder Emilia Fazzalari personally tasting every batch before bottling, the brand places considerable emphasis on consistency and quality.
Presented in a striking white-and-gold gift box, Añejo Reserva is priced at $150 per bottle. A limited release, it offers collectors and tequila enthusiasts another opportunity to explore the increasingly refined landscape of premium Mexican spirits.
