Anejo Tequilas

Anejo Tequilas

Añejo or aged Tequilas are aged for a minimum of 1 year and up to 3 years (at 3 years they become an Extra Añejo Tequila).

Añejo tequilas are a favorite for those who come to Tequila with a love of other brown spirits like our friends in the whisky category.

Flavor can vary widely from oaky and spicy to buttery and warm. Coloring of añejo tequilas depend on the type of wood, the toast or char that’s applied to the barrel, the amount of time the tequila is aged, and if any additives have been blended into the final product.
