Your Afternoon Animal Fix – AdoPtville

By Prince Of Petworth

Our friends at Charity Barrel have hand selected a barrel of 100% Agave placed in a Charity Barrel Edition #5 empty barrel from Nashville Barrel Company for 21 months. For each donation of $130 to CDCK, Charity Barrel will gift donors the limited edition bottle, while supplies last.

Click here to donate and receive your bottle.

This bottle is a cross between a traditional Reposado Tequila and an Anejo Tequila. It is great right from the bottle and is elevated with a few ice cubes and a fresh twist of Orange. To really have some fun, we would challenge you to use it in a Bloody Maria or in a Spicy Margarita.
