Distiller Notes
Los Arango Anejo is a super premium tequila aged 13 months in charred American Oak barrels. Curious on the nose, with notes of brewed tea, smoky barrel char, pepper, and mixed spice. The palate sees more traditional vanilla-caramel melding fitfully with the pepper, spice, and a slightly bittersweet orange peel character. The finish is long, rich, spicy, and lingers with a perfected balance of flavor and texture.

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.
