Añejo Tequilas are a well-loved category for brown-spirits drinkers as these Tequilas spend more than 1 year in a barrel. The title “Añejo” quite literally means “aged” and these expressions can do so for up to 3 years before they become an Extra Añejo. Añejos range from sweet to spicy, depending on the barrel used for aging and can be sipped neat or substituted for another brown spirit in cocktails like the Manhattan or Old Fashioned.
