Delivering a profoundly satisfying tasting experience inside its classic presentation bottle featuring custom private barrel selection labeling, this 750ML format represents a vital foundational asset for any ultra-premium spirits collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"21\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"22\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"22,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"22,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eVarietal\/Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Añejo Tequila (100% Blue Weber Agave \/ Additive-Free)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"22,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"22,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eProduct of:\u003c\/b\u003e Santiago de Tequila, Jalisco, Mexico\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"22,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"22,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 750ML\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"22,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"22,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/b\u003e Distilería El Llano (NOM 1109)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"22,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"22,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMaturation:\u003c\/b\u003e Private Single Barrel Seleccion (Charred American Oak \/ Ex-Bourbon Cask)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"22,5,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"22,5,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eExclusive Curation:\u003c\/b\u003e Private Retail Partner Selection for BottleStork\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"22,6,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"22,6,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eBrand:\u003c\/b\u003e Paladar Tequila (In collaboration with Pete Nevenglosky \u0026amp; Edoardo \"Lalo\" Orendain)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BottleStork","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49483214160010,"sku":"41768","price":95.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/7117\/6330\/files\/Paladar_BottleStork_Private_Select.png?v=1780336123"},{"product_id":"starlight-carl-t-hubers-tokaji-finished-bourbon-single-barrel-750ml","title":"Starlight Carl.

Each barrel of this expression begins as a blend of Starlight's proprietary three-grain and four-grain mash bills, fermented using a 100% sweet mash process — a technique that avoids sour mash setback, yielding a cleaner, fruitier fermentation character. The bourbon is distilled in copper pot stills and aged for a minimum of four years in new, charred American oak barrels inside Huber's historic rickhouses. After primary maturation, it is transferred at cask strength into traditional Hungarian Tokaji barrels — specifically first-fill casks that previously held Tokaji Essencia, one of the world's most prized dessert wines — for an additional four to eight months of finishing. Hungarian oak differs substantially from American or French oak, contributing distinctive notes of butterscotch, clove, and cinnamon alongside the residual wine sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eRipe stone fruit and golden honey arrive first, followed by waves of tangerine zest and warm baking spice.
