Tasting Panel
Tequila Chamucos Anejo delivers such a captivating perfume - jasmine, brown sugared agave, summer peach and buttered toast; it translates equally well on the palate. Rich and generously textured with a velvet creaminess, a hint of tobacco and black pepper give this aged spirit extra oomph.

Wine Enthusiast
The aroma is fresh and bright, welcoming with pineapple and pear. The palate echoes those flavors, and surprises with a waft of smokiness too. All together, this fruity-smoky profile suggests charred pineapple, plus a vanilla and clove finish.
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.
