AsomBroso Vintage 11 year Aged Añejo Tequila from MAYA TAQUERIA AND TEQUILA BAR
With most tequila aged between a year and five, get smashed smashingly with the first and only 11-year añejo tequila to be sold in the world. Its golden hue and warming taste to the throat with an agave hint is harmoniously in sync with the initial amorous odors of butterscotch and caramel, and further along of honey and oak and a bit of cinnamon. If you get tipsy enough, you’ll forget about the price tag.
Price: Php 8,900.00/SHOT
