This Tequila Wasn’t Supposed to Leave the Distillery | 60.87% Single Barrel Carreta de Oro

This tequila was not supposed to leave the distillery. In this video, I break down a 60.87% ABV single barrel Reposado from Carreta de Oro Tequila, hand-selected straight from the barrel during my visit to the distillery. This is a rare, high-proof tequila experience you don’t get often. This bottle is a single barrel Reposado, sampled and chosen directly at the distillery, originally never intended for release. At 60.87% ABV (120 proof), this tequila delivers massive cooked agave intensity, deep barrel character, citrus, licorice, fennel, caramel, and a surprisingly smooth finish for such a high-proof tequila. I also share tasting notes and impressions of a potential upcoming Extra Añejo, giving you a rare look at what might be next for Carreta de Oro. During my trip, I visited NOM 1551 – Destilatorio Huatlatlán, a truly unique distillery located in central Jalisco just outside Guadalajara. Owned by over 65 agave-farming families, this distillery features stone ovens, roller mill extraction, stainless steel open fermentation, and a rare private water source that makes it one of the most fascinating tequila operations I’ve seen. If you’re into additive-free tequila, single barrel picks, high-proof tequila, distillery stories, and honest tequila reviews, this one is for you.
