Distiller Notes
Warm and clean as the Jalisco sun, this 100% agave tequila is aged in bourbon barrels for 12 to 18 months.
Bold color and full body show off vanilla and warm spice flavors. First pass reveals smoky white oak with subtle notes of dried fruits, plum and almonds ~ then spices and vanilla afterwards. Full body and mouthfeel with a subtle sweetness emerging from the toasty oak, and a peppery note underneath. A prolonged, warm finish with spice and soft alcohol notes.
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.
