Distiller Notes
NueveUno Organic Anejo Tequila, traditionally crafted with select organic agaves from the Amatitán Valley. Additive-free and aged for 16 months in American Oak barrels.
Cooked agave, toasted oak, vanilla, caramel, toasted hazelnut and a touch of black pepper on the palate with a smooth finish.
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.
