A Year in Oak, the Traditional Way

Don Elias is the sole brand made at NOM 1477 in Arenal, Jalisco, and its añejo follows the old playbook: Tequilana Weber agave from Los Valles, stone and brick ovens, roller-mill extraction, stainless fermentation, double distillation. A full year in oak rounds the agave into caramel, butter, and vanilla territory while the cooked-agave core holds. Meet the line at Don Elias or browse the store's añejo tequila shelf.

Tasting Notes

Community tasters (Agave Matchmaker, 1,000+ raters) note caramel, butter, cooked agave, vanilla, oak, cinnamon, and honey — a classic añejo profile with the agave still speaking through the oak.

How to Enjoy

Neat or over one large cube. The añejo's oak depth also makes it a natural upgrade in an añejo Old Fashioned — bitters, a touch of agave syrup, orange peel.
