Act of Treason Extra Aged
Twelve months after launching Act of Treason Australian Agave Spirit, Top Shelf International has unveiled Act of Treason Extra Aged, an agave spirit that emulates the añejo tequila style.
Aged in ex-Australian whisky barrels, Extra Aged features familiar notes of cooked agave, cut grass and lime layered atop rich vanilla, caramel and oak.
According to the distillery, the tropical ageing conditions of Act of Treason's Whitsundays homeland contribute increased flavour extraction from the oak, resulting in a spirit of depth and complexity that is reflective of its unique environment.
“Everything we do is inspired by the traditions of tequila but brought to life through Australian ingenuity and unique terroir that our location offers us,” said Trent Fraser, CEO.
“Our farm is our slice of paradise and we’re relishing in the opportunity of exporting paradise to the world.”
Act of Treason Extra Aged is now available via its website at $130 per bottle.
