Tequila AñejoDistilled from 100% blue Weber agave, it is aged for at least a year in barrels not to exceed 600 liters. Any type of wood is acceptable, but ex-bourbon barrels are most common. Añejo tequilas are also known as "aged" or "extra aged".

Tasting Notes
"The agave flavors hold up well here, though in a very concentrated, stewed form. It's also remarkably dry for such a mature bourbon-barrel añejo with zesty flavors of lime and grapefruit peel and herbal notes of thyme, rosemary, and mint. A spice road blend of cinnamon, clove, and cardamom is sprinkled over caramel, vanilla, and toffee with a hint of smoked meat on the finish. "
