This Mundial is a customized model of El Tesoro Añejo, aged in bourbon barrels after which completed for an additional 12 months in “Yamazaki 12-12 months-Previous Japanese sherry and wine casks.” That’s a type of bizarre approach to describe Yamazaki 12 12 months outdated whisky casks, however El Tesoro is asking out that it’s utilizing Yamazaki’s personal ending casks, not first-fill wine or sherry casks. Make sense? Let’s style.
