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
"On the nose, the añejo starts with earthy baked agave balanced with lavender, dried fruit and holiday spices. More interplay between fruit and spice on the palate, with agave, roasted peppers and brown sugar. Coffee, nutmeg and a hint of oak on the finish."
