Wine Enthusiast
A notably light and vegetal take on añejo. Look for a pale straw hue and mild, peppery aromas, plus a flinty hint. The palate mixes sweetness and pleasing salinity: salted almonds winds into bell pepper, asparagus and fresh herbs. Salted vanilla sweetness takes over into the warming finish. Aged one year in ex-American whiskey barrels.
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.
