Distiller Notes
El Destilador Anejo Tequila has an intense color with gold and silver highlights, and a clear nose with agave and fine wood notes. Its pleasant flavor recalls wood and raw agave notes. It is full bodied with legs. Ideal for drinking straight, but it also mixes well with grapefruit soda.
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.
