Añejo Tequila, like all Tequilas, is distilled from the fermented juice of the Weber blue agave plant, and comes from Mexico’s official region for Tequila production, centered around the western state of Jalisco.
Añejo (Ahn-YAY-ho) means aged, or mature. Añejo Tequila has been aged in oak barrels for one to three years. The aging process gives the Tequila color, flavors and some body from the oak. Save this Tequila for sipping or mixing into cocktails that will show off the flavor and richness of the spirit.
Extra Añejo Tequilas, aged three years or more, are dark and rich, and should be savored as you would a fine Whisky or Cognac.
