Distiller Notes
A dark amber color. Aromas of cooked agave, vanilla and toffee. Primary notes of cooked agave, vanilla, hazelnuts, toffee and baking spice with secondary notes of tropical fruit; American oak adds notes of vanilla and nuts, while finishing in Irish whiskey barrels adds complex spice notes and mellow smoothness. The finish is long and silky.
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.
