Gold color. Aromas and flavors of honey, caramel sauce, maple syrup, sesame and ginger candy, candied orange, and cream soda with a round, crisp, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a tingling, interesting, medium-long finish with notes of vanilla toffee and pralines, cinnamon coffee cake, butterscotch, and chocolate chip cookie, caramel and sweet mole, and angel food cake and cinnamon. Intense sweetness on the nose that rolls into some spicy dryness to finish; rich and sweet barrel characteristics abound.

About

Añejo Tequila

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.
