Indulge in the rich heritage and exquisite craftsmanship of Mexico with El Tequileño Añejo, a premium tequila that embodies the essence of tradition and refinement.

From its hand-selected agave to its meticulous aging process, El Tequileño Añejo promises a tasting experience that is both luxurious and unforgettable.
Craftsmanship:
Hand-Selected Agave: El Tequileño Añejo begins with the careful selection of mature agave plants, handpicked by skilled jimadors to ensure optimal ripeness and flavor. The piñas, or hearts of the agave, are harvested and slowly cooked in traditional brick ovens, allowing the sugars to caramelize and develop rich flavors.
Slow Aging Process: Following cooking, the agave is crushed and fermented before being distilled in copper pot stills. The resulting tequila is then aged in oak barrels for a minimum of one year, allowing it to develop its signature flavor profile and smoothness. During this time, the tequila absorbs the rich flavors and aromas of the oak, resulting in a spirit of exceptional depth and complexity.
Artisanal Distillation: The distillation process is overseen by master distillers who carefully monitor every step to ensure the highest quality spirit is produced. The result is a tequila of unparalleled purity and character, with a smoothness and elegance that can only come from time-honored craftsmanship.
Tasting Notes:
Appearance: Rich amber hue, with golden highlights that shimmer in the light, reflecting its time spent aging in oak barrels.
Aromas: Inviting aromas of caramelized agave, vanilla, and toasted oak greet the nose, followed by hints of cinnamon, nutmeg, and dried fruit. Subtle undertones of chocolate and coffee add complexity, evoking the warmth and richness of Mexican cuisine.
Palate: Silky smooth on the palate, with flavors of baked agave, butterscotch, and toasted almonds. Notes of baking spices, dried fruit, and caramel unfold, complemented by a touch of smoke and a hint of pepper. The mouthfeel is luxurious and velvety, with a warmth that spreads slowly, enveloping the palate in a comforting embrace.
Finish: Long and lingering finish with echoes of oak, caramel, and spice. The finish is smooth and satisfying, with a subtle sweetness that lingers on the palate, leaving a lasting impression of elegance and sophistication.
Pairing Suggestions:
Mexican Cuisine: Pair El Tequileño Añejo with traditional Mexican dishes such as carne asada, mole poblano, or churros with chocolate sauce. The tequila's rich flavors and smooth texture complement the bold and vibrant flavors of the cuisine, creating a harmonious and delicious pairing.
Desserts: Enjoy alongside desserts such as flan, tres leches cake, or Mexican chocolate. The tequila's caramel and vanilla notes enhance the sweetness of the desserts, while its smoothness cleanses the palate and refreshes the senses.
