Tequila Enemigo Celebrates First Ever Bordeaux Cask Finished Tequila Sell Out

Tequila Enemigo Finito: A New Milestone in Tequila Craftsmanship

In a groundbreaking announcement from Tequila Enemigo, the luxury tequila brand has confirmed the complete sell-out of its latest offering, Enemigo Finito. This remarkable tequila, acclaimed as the world's first finished in Bordeaux Premier Cru casks, is a game-changer in the spirits industry, representing an innovative fusion of Mexican tequila-making traditions and the legendary terroir of Bordeaux.

Crafted with meticulous care, Enemigo Finito is not just a drink; it's a masterpiece born from a single barrel of Extra Añejo tequila. The unique aging process takes place in a historic Bordeaux Premier Cru cask, showcasing the artisanship and exceptional quality that Tequila Enemigo stands for. The sell-out of all 300 bottles reflects the high demand from collectors, connoisseurs, and exclusive private clubs, with Sotheby's serving as the premier global retailer.

Priced at $1,050 per bottle, the limited availability of Enemigo Finito makes it an extraordinary collectible. The uniqueness of this tequila is underscored by the fact that no second barrel exists, granting it a status beyond mere liquors. Each bottle comes with an individually numbered label and a hand-signed certificate by renowned figures in the industry: Maestro Tequilero Enrique Legoretta and Sotheby’s Global Head of Spirits Jonny Fowle.

The collaboration signifies a landmark moment for both Mexican and Bordeaux traditions, offering consumers a taste experience reminiscent of both winemaking and distilling excellence. "Finito is the culmination of our mission to challenge convention and elevate tequila’s potential," stated Robin Clough, co-founder of Tequila Enemigo. "Finishing in Premier Cru barrels was a creative decision that signifies a new standard for Extra Añejo."

Tasting Notes: Featured in the bottle insert, the tasting profile of Enemigo Finito is described as a paradigm-shifting Extra Añejo. Its light rose-gold color hints at a complex flavor profile, with notes of pomelo, stone fruit tart, and prickly pear blossom. The finish is characterized by vibrant spices and a creamy texture that lingers, showcasing the finesse derived from the Bordeaux aging process.

Tequila Enemigo is not just creating extraordinary spirits; it is reshaping the ultra-premium tequila landscape. Founded in 2017 by Robin Clough, Sebastian Gonzalez, and Max Davies-Gilbert, the brand set out to redefine what premium tequila could mean. With over 60 international awards under its belt, Enemigo has garnered much acclaim, especially following its acquisition by MadaLuxe Group, one of America's leading luxury firms.

The brand's exceptional craft uses 100% Blue Weber Agave along with the mineral-rich waters sourced from the Volcán de Tequila. As Enemigo continues to make its mark across the globe—from New York to Dubai and Paris to Los Angeles—they offer seekers a refined tasting experience that consistently pushes the boundaries of traditional tequila norms.

Looking ahead, the success of Enemigo Finito signals exciting possibilities for future offerings within the tequila category, promising to intrigue spirits enthusiasts and redefine luxury within this beloved Mexican tradition.

For anyone fortunate enough to secure a bottle, they hold a piece of history, a testament to the creative possibilities that arise when tradition meets innovation in the world of spirits.
