Distiller Notes
2021 San Francisco World Spirits Competition Gold Medal Winner
Made from 100% Blue Weber Agave, Corralejo Anejo is double distilled and aged for twelve months in charred American oak barrels, giving the tequila a sweet and smokey flavor. Corralejo Anejo has aromas of cocoa, vanilla, and peppercorn, with notes of oak, caramel, white peppercorns and cardamom spice. Full bodied, this Tequila is best enjoyed sipped neat or on the rocks. Salud!
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.
