Tequila Añejo

Category: Añejo Tequila

Date Tasted:

Clear bronze color. Aromas and flavors of five spice, cedar and leather, black tea, and pie crust with a syrupy, very sweet medium body and a medium-to-long finish with notes of cocoa nibs and cigar box, caramel, dried apples, matcha, brown sugar, and baking spices. Balanced agave flavor with barrel spice and this dram continues to grow in the glass and improve over time.

Anejo Tequila

Serve in a Copita
Añejo ("old") Tequila is aged in wooden barrels (usually old Bourbon barrels) for a minimum of 12 months. The best-quality añejos are aged 18 months to three years Beyond three years they can be called extra añejo.

Aging takes place in barrels formerly used to mature bourbon and rarely Cognac. Those aged in the latter vessels have more of a mellow edge, with aromas ranging from vanilla to tobacco, while those aged in former bourbon barrels often have notes of dill and coconut from the American oak. Añejo tequilas should be sipped neat, after dinner in a copita or snifter and perhaps enjoyed with a cigar.
