Volume: 700ml ABV: 40% Origin: Los Altos de Jalisco, Mexico Style: Tequila Añejo, 100% blue Weber agave Age: Aged 16 to 18 months in American oak Release: Core range The añejo takes the same single estate spirit through sixteen to eighteen months in American oak. It sits at the agave-forward end of the añejo category — deeper and darker than the reposado, but green and savoury rather than sweet and mellow.What it delivers A deeper hue from the extended time in oak Bolder butterscotch on the nose over cooked agave Caramel, vanilla and light baking spice through the palate White pepper and a fruity note of red berries and citrus late Why it matters Aged well beyond the twelve-month minimum for the añejo class Single estate — agave to bottle at Casa San Matías One for drinkers who want agave character to survive the barrel Hand-harvested highland agave, slow cooked and double distilled
