Light gold color. Aromas and flavors of play doh and thin mint cookies, coconut cream, almond joy, and charleston chew with a velvety, crisp, dry medium-to-full body and an interesting, medium-length finish manifesting notes of german chocolate cake with coconut shavings, candied sage, caramel with sea salt, and sweet pepper. Chocolate, vanilla, coconut, and almond candies on the nose with soft herbal agave coming through on the palate to balance the sweetness.

Anejo Tequila

Spirits Glass Copita Amber.jpg
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.
