If you’re a whiskey drinker, this tequila might finally make sense. Today I’m reviewing the House of Rare RAREcask Genesis PX Extra Añejo—aged in bourbon barrels and finished in PX sherry casks. If you’re a whiskey drinker, this tequila might finally make sense. Today I’m diving into the RAREcask Genesis PX Extra Añejo from House of Rare, a limited release tequila aged for 3 years in bourbon barrels and finished for 6 months in Pedro Ximénez (PX) sherry casks. This is not your typical Extra Añejo. With only 1,000 bottles released and bottled at 46% ABV, this tequila leans heavily into barrel influence—bringing out rich notes of dried fruit, molasses, spice, and oak that will feel very familiar to whiskey lovers. I also recently sat down with Miguel Ortiz, the founder of House of Rare, to talk about their unique aging philosophy and the RAREcask program—where they’ve been using exotic barrels to age tequila for years before launching their own label. Is this a tequila for purists… or a gateway for whiskey drinkers? Watch and decide. #Tequila #Whiskey #ExtraAnejo #TequilaReview #agave © Tasting Tequila with Brad
