My Tasting Notes: Partida Elegante was donated to me be Partida but it typically
sells for over $300. I tasted this tequila in my home and used a Riedel glass for
tasting. Partida Elegante ages their extra anejo for at least 36 months which causes it
to be a dark amber brown color. Intense aromas of this tequila include caramel and
floral notes that are followed by moderate notes of fruit. In addition, mild aromas
include vanilla and spice. In the mouth, the extra anejo is medium-to-heavy. While the
tequila is semisweet, there is only the slightest hint of bitterness. When examining the
flavors of Partida Elegante, first impressions include intense floral accents. On a
second sip, I noticed moderate flavors of agave, vanilla, and caramel. When searching
for deeper flavors upon tasting the tequila, one can taste mild notes of wood and
earth. This tequila has a long duration of flavor and has a nice subtle numbing alcohol
intensity.
Info on the Back of the Bottle: n/a
Other Info: In 2007, Partida Elegante was released. Each bottle comes with an
elegantly lined box, sterling silver Spirit Bird necklace, and crystal bottle stopper. The
bottle and box come with an insert that states the following:
"We are proud to offer you this extraordinary, limited production Extra Anejo: Partida
Tequila Elegante. The Partida Tequila Elegante is distilled from the finest Partida
estate-grown blue agave - carefully selected by Enrique Partida, harvested by hand,
and aged for more than 36 months in the finest quality American oak barrels. The
Partida Tequila Elegante is the most elegant expression of the Partida family of
Tequilas, "the finest tequilas that money can buy," according to F. Paul Pacult, the
leading spirits authority in America. Salud!"
