Distiller Notes
Unique blend of sweet vanilla, hazelnut, dried fruit and strong agave nectar flavor. Intense aroma of chocolate, hazelnut, vanilla, dried fruit and toasted wood. Deep, rich and complex.

This nut-brown aged Tequila almost smells like Cognac, featuring rich raisin, fig, honey and toffee aromas. Rich, deep caramel flavor with a peppery finish. Mouthwatering.
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.
