Distiller Notes
2021 San Francisco World Spirits Competition Gold Medal Winner
This fine highland tequila is aged in bold American Oak then finished in delicate French Oak wine casks, creating a balanced profile of rich caramel, toasted oak and dried fruit with a hint of silky vanilla on the finish. Made from 100% Highland Blue Weber Agave, these plants yield the sweetest piñas, giving the tequila its abundant character and balance.
The definition of smooth, this Añejo Tequila is best served with freshly squeezed lime juice, orange liqueur and simple syrup in a salt-rimmed glass as a flavorful margarita.
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.
