Pantera de Oro Extra Añejo Review | Cask Strength Blind Tasting Standout (#2 Overall) Pantera de Oro Extra Añejo is a cask strength tequila that finished #2 overall in my Extra Añejo blind tasting. In this review, I break down the production, NOM 1608, aging philosophy, and tasting notes behind this standout tequila. Pantera de Oro Extra Añejo is a cask strength tequila that finished #2 overall in my Extra Añejo blind tasting — tasted completely blind. In this review, I break down the production details, NOM 1608, aging philosophy, and full tasting notes behind this refined and powerful Extra Añejo tequila. Pantera de Oro was created by Scott Baird, an industry veteran with more than 20 years in spirits and hospitality. Scott played a key role in launching Tequila Ocho and Ancho Reyes in the U.S. market and set out to create an Extra Añejo focused on balance, finesse, and agave purity — not just oak. This tequila is produced at NOM 1608 in the Tequila Valley, a distillery built for precision. Pantera de Oro uses fully mature 100% Blue Weber agave (30+ Brix), cooked 60% in stone ovens and 40% in autoclave, then aged over three and a half years in a thoughtful barrel program of 50% French oak and 50% American oak. Bottled at 53% ABV (cask strength) with no additives, Pantera de Oro delivers a rich, layered Extra Añejo profile that leans more Armagnac and Calvados than bourbon.
