Distiller Notes
Golden amber with brilliant tones and gold highlights. Very balanced aromas of oak and cooked agave, with touches of honey and vanilla standing out. Rich, silky, well-balanced body, with long pronounced legs and a sleek texture on the palate. Delicate spices and vanilla lead to along finish of dried fruits and oak.
This ultra premium tequila is made from the finest 100% blue weber agave from Amatitan in the heart of Jalisco, Mexico. The blue weber agave is matured for at least 8 years to ensure an optimum sugar content resulting in better flavor, quality and consistency.

You can't help but notice the tactile nature of the hefty, rounded bottle with its raised pattern—like an armadillo's—and braided rope coiled around the neck. The Tequila inside is golden, with a vanilla and coconut scent. The flavor is surprisingly herbaceous at first, both grassy and peppery, but fades into buttery vanilla tones.
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.
