Clear light gold color. Sweet, toasty, tropical, woody, nutty aromas and flavors of agave with butterscotch, toasted coconut flakes, maple syrup, chocolate powered and banana pudding, orange peel, and pipe tobacco with a round, off-dry light-to-medium body and a tingling, nuanced, medium-length finish displaying notes of tiramisu, creme brulee, lemon oil, and poached pears. Tropical with tobacco and coconut tones that would mix well in cocktails of all styles yet the complexity of this Tequila allows it to be enjoyed as is as well.

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.
