Distiller Notes
Aged for at least 36 months in American White Oak barrels then bottled at 108 proof, this cask-strength Extra Anejo features a full-bodied taste packed with oak, toasted almond, light agave notes and a sweet vanilla finish.
Light amber in color. Rich aromas of resinous oak balanced with gentle vanilla and a hint of caramelized agave. Robust and full-bodied packed with toasted almond, light caramelized agave, and cocoa undertones. There is a sweet full-bodied vanilla finish with a hint of raisin.
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.
