Clear light golden amber color. Baked, buttery, candied aromas of bacon-wrapped dates, strawberry, salted popcorn balls, and caramel and cigar box with a creamy, lively, off-dry light-to-medium body and a warming, nuanced, medium-length fig spread, dark stone fruits, watermelon, dark chocolate, and chestnuts and dried sage finish. A fruit focused Añejo that has savory notes which could be paired with Asian dishes.

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.
