No masked notes of agave here! Despite the 3-year aging cycle, this beautifully scented tequila brings up maple-agave notes along with apricot nectar and peppered lime rinds. New leather paints the tongue, while heady notes of that pleasant maple-agave stay long on the palate. Dotted with pepper along the way, the spicy oak integrates into broad strokes of cigar and peach on the 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.
