Aged 20 months in French Oak barrels, Don Cayo Anejo is a richly layered tequila from El Arenal, Jalisco that rewards sippers who appreciate depth, sweetness, and an exceptionally smooth finish.


Crafted at Tequilera Puerta de Hierro under NOM 1477, this anejo is made with 100% Valley agave slow-roasted in traditional stone clay ovens, a process that coaxes out the natural sweetness of the plant before distillation. The extended French Oak aging lends Don Cayo Anejo its characteristic warmth and complexity without sacrificing the approachable character that defines the best spirits from this Jalisco valley region.


  • Nose: Caramel, vanilla, ripe bananas, and sweet tobacco
  • Palate: Caramelized agave, vanilla, oak, caramel, and hints of peppermint
  • Finish: Lasting, easy, and sweet with a lingering touch of mint

Don Cayo Anejo shines neat or on the rocks, and its sweet, oaky depth makes it a natural companion to an Old Fashioned. It also pairs beautifully alongside a fine cigar, echoing the tobacco and caramel notes on the nose.


Best enjoyed neat or over a large rock to let the aromas open fully. Made with 100% Valley agave from El Arenal, Jalisco.

Don Cayo traces back to 1954, when Don Cayetano González set out to make an artisanal tequila in El Arenal, in the Valley of Tequila. Today it is made at Compañía Tequilera Don Cayo in El Arenal, with agave from the surrounding valley. The agave is cooked in traditional stone ovens, crushed with a roller mill, fermented in stainless steel tanks with deep well water and distilled twice. The aged expressions rest in French white oak, which gives Don Cayo its soft, sweet style. It is an easy first bottle for new tequila drinkers and a favorite of longtime fans.

El Arenal, Jalisco

Map of Jalisco, Mexico, with El Arenal marked

El Arenal sits at about 1,450 meters in the Tequila valley west of Guadalajara and is known as the gateway to agave country. Its name comes from the sandy ground of the first settlement, and it belonged to Amatitán until it became its own municipality in 1923. Most of the land is flat or gently rolling farmland on volcanic rock, planted with blue agave and corn. Tequila making is the main industry, and the town lies within the Agave Landscape that UNESCO named a World Heritage Site in 2006.
