BCA’s Long-Awaited Single Barrel Añejo Corazón Tequila (Aged in Buffalo Trace Barrels) Releases This December — Now an Extra Añejo | BCA Members Only

Nearly two years after the original BCA “IN” post announcing a Single Barrel Añejo Corazón Tequila, the moment has finally arrived. BCA’s private barrel — aged in used Buffalo Trace bourbon barrels — is officially releasing this December.

This is a BCA-only release and is currently available exclusively to BCA members.
No public availability. No open retail release. Membership in BCA is required to participate.

All additional details — including pickup information, bottle limits, and pricing — will be announced directly on the BCA Facebook page.

What began as an Añejo pick has now turned into something even more special.

Originally an Añejo — Now Aged Long Enough to Become an Extra Añejo

When BCA selected this barrel almost two years ago, it legally qualified as an Añejo Tequila, meaning it had between 1 and 3 years of barrel aging.

However, because the release was delayed and the tequila continued resting in its Buffalo Trace barrel, it now exceeds three full years of aging.

That means:

➡️ This Single Barrel Añejo Corazón Tequila now legally qualifies as an Extra Añejo.

Extra Añejo represents tequila’s highest-aged category — the most rich, complex, and refined style available.

What the additional time adds:

• Deeper caramel and dark-roast agave
• Rounder, smoother oak integration
• Bourbon barrel spice layered with vanilla
• A long, velvety, dessert-like finish

This extended aging elevates this BCA pick into a luxury-tier release.
