Distiller Notes
Flavors of baked apple and clay with wood, caramel and spices. This tequila balances the jammy flavor of ripe agave with the caramel and spices produced during nearly 2 years of aging. The secret lies in making a sip worthy silver tequila and then in aging in both new toasted oak and rye whiskey barrels.

This certified organic Tequila has a bold pineapple fragrance, with a hint of vanilla. More vanilla shows on the palate, plus caramel, toffee and a warm, toasty flavor reminiscent of roasted coffee beans, finishing with an explosion of clove and black pepper.
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.
