El Tesoro Mundial: Basil Hayden Toast Edition
El Tesoro Mundial: Basil Hayden Toast Edition is a unique expression of El Tesoro Reposado, aged for nearly six months in Basil Hayden Toast™ oak barrels.
El Tesoro Mundial: Basil Hayden Toast Edition is a delicious sipping tequila that is perfectly balanced with indulgent notes of cooked agave, cinnamon and crème brûlée. As a special one-time release, this is the first and only time El Tesoro has been rested in Basil Hayden Toast™ barrels.
The first edition, The Laphroaig Edition, was released in 2021 and shined a light on the proud distilling tradition of Tequila melding with the barrel-aging expertise of Scotch. The result was a gentle hint of salty ocean air and peat smoke for a truly distinctive tequila. The second edition, El Tesoro Mundial Collection: Knob Creek Rye Edition, was released in 2023 and featured El Tesoro Añejo aged in the distinctive casks of Knob Creek Rye Whisky barrels, resulting in a beautiful balance between subtle sweetness and spice.
