Golden straw color. Aromas and flavors of yuzu peel, turmeric and saffron lemonade, aged balsamic glazed peaches grilled from your fancy unicorn pool toy, and dried garden herbs on buttered toast with a round, dryish medium body and a tingling, distinctive, medium-length finish with suggestions of green tea with lemon,cinnamon, nutmeg, and mulling spices, caramel stroop waffle, cumin and orange marmalade, and butterscotch. This añejo offers up decadent layers of sweet baking spices to be slowly sipped with a cigar on a crisp autumn day next to a fire.

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.
