This extended aging gives it deeper color, richer oak notes, and a smoother, more refined finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv style=\"margin-top: 20px;\"\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 4px;\"\u003eWhy is it aged in sherry casks?\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"font-size: 15px; margin-top: 0;\"\u003eThe tequila rests in French oak barrels previously used to age sherry. This imparts extra richness, subtle sweetness, and gentle spice notes that you won't find in a tequila aged in neutral oak barrels alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv style=\"margin-top: 20px;\"\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 4px;\"\u003eIs this a limited release?
