My Tasting Notes: n/a
Info on the Back of the Bottle: "Paradiso is produced and aged up to 5 years in
extremely limited quantities."
Other Info: The date stamp on this bottle reads 7/8/09. According to Carlos, Lot C
was released in 2004.
The front of the bottle states "this tequila represents a meld of two great talents, the
art of the tequila maker and the experience of the cognac blender. Paradisio is a
traditional tequila created in the style of the great cognac."
In addition, the neck tag states the following: "Paradiso Anejo is a harmonious
masterpiece which combines the art of tequila production and cognac blending. With
master cognac blender Alain Royer acting as a consultant, Carlos Camarena the cellar
master and son of Don Felipe, created an elegant blend. Paradiso is a blend of Don
Felipe's finest tequilas selected for distinctive characteristics and married together in
barrels used for aging cognac brought from France. The result is an amazing tequila
with an age range up to five years. The careful selection of barrels and the aging
process do not mask the origins of 100% agave tequila but instead add the sensual
elegance of French cognac, allowing the essence of the tequila to shine through. Hand
numbered, very limited availability."
Many people, including myself, believe that the older Paradiso bottles are far better
tasting than the new Lot C. I hope that with the next Lot this changes because the
older bottles are getting harder and harder to find.
