Aromas of cinnamon, clove, and brown-sugared walnut are appealing and deep. Opulent notes of white-peppered almond brittle give way to cedar, chocolate, and clove tea, making a luscious impact on this aged tequila’s semisweet flavor profile. Distinctive and totally gratifying all the way through the finish of orange peel and gingersnap.
Because of their great complexity, Anejo Tequilas are most often used as a substitute for Brandy or Whiskey in cocktails like the Manhattan or Old Fashioned. Anejo Tequilas must be aged in oak barrels for between one and three years, while Extra Anejo refers to any Tequila aged longer than three years. The prolonged contact with the oak barrel allows the wood to make a much stronger impression on the Tequila by adding toffee, caramel and vanilla to the sweet, spicy agave flavor profile.
