Clear golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of dulce de leche, pickling spices and green pepper, aromatic bitters and baking cocoa on apple pie, and black pepper with a round, off-dry medium body and a warming, interesting, medium-length finish with suggestions of butterscotch, French toast, molasses cookie, and browned butter. Rewarding and bold barrel flavors on the front with a nice agave boost in the back playing rhythm guitar.

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.
