Desnuda Organic Anejo Tequila
Desnuda Organic Añejo Tequila — The Deepest Expression of Naked Agave
Desnuda Organic Añejo Tequila is where the brand's additive-free philosophy meets extended time in wood. The same 100% Blue Weber agave — grown in the red clay soil of Jalisco, hand-harvested, open-air fermented, and double distilled with no sweeteners, no additives, no artificial colors, and zero sugar — is aged in used bourbon casks, emerging with deep notes of oak, dark chocolate, and vanilla that never overpower the agave at the core.
Crafted under Master Distiller Santos Ochoa and bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof) in Desnuda's signature amber-toned, textured glass bottle with a natural wood cap, the añejo earned Gold at the 2026 Agavos Awards and ASCOT recognition including Double Platinum for bottle design and Gold for taste.

How to Enjoy
This is a neat sipper first and foremost — pour it in a Glencairn or snifter and let the chocolate and oak unfold. If you must mix, keep it worthy: an Añejo Old Fashioned or a split-base Manhattan with rye. Pair with mole negro, aged gouda, or a flourless chocolate torte.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does "añejo" mean?
"Aged" in Spanish — by law, añejo tequila spends at least one year in oak barrels, developing deeper color and richer flavor than blanco or reposado.
What kind of barrels does Desnuda use for the añejo?
Used bourbon casks, which contribute oak, vanilla, and dark chocolate notes. The brand does not publish a specific aging duration.
How should I drink it?
Neat, ideally — the añejo's long, luxurious finish is the whole point. Save the blanco for your Margarita.
