Distiller Notes
Selected from their private reserve, this exceptional Tequila is aged in robust American Oak, and then rested for more than a year in the finest French Sauternes casks. Rich amber in color. Aromas of ripe jammy fruit with rich caramel undertones. The palate is full-bodied and elegant with caramelized cherries, creme brulee, and layered spice with hints of exotic cinnamon. The finish is a deep amber color with notes of fresh fruit, warm cinnamon and an elegant sweet brown spice finish.
Proof: 80
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.
