Guerrero del Sol Anejo Tequila
Guerrero del Sol Anejo Tequila is a warrior's anejo — a 40% ABV (80 proof) 750mL 100% blue Weber agave tequila from the fully Mexican-owned Compania Tequilera Hacienda La Capilla (NOM 1479) in Capilla de Guadalupe, Tepatitlan de Morelos, in the Los Altos highlands of Jalisco. The agave is slow-cooked in traditional brick ovens, fermented and hand-produced in small batches, double-distilled in copper pot stills, and rested over a year in oak. Named for the Aztec Eagle Warriors, it pours deep roasted agave and toasted oak over an earthy agave core. Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

The Eagle Warrior's Anejo
"Guerrero del Sol" means "Warrior of the Sun," named for the Aztec Eagle Warriors — and the tequila is built with old-regional discipline to match. Hacienda La Capilla draws on more than a century of Los Altos tequila tradition: brick ovens instead of autoclaves, copper pots instead of columns, small batches instead of scale. The highland agave gives it the earthy, mineral core that lowland tequilas rarely match, and the oak rest rounds it into butterscotch and dark chocolate.

Tasting Notes
Retailer-consistent notes: aroma of deep roasted agave, toasted oak, vanilla, sweet caramel, dried fruit, and baking spice; a palate of butterscotch, ripe fig, cinnamon, and dark chocolate over an earthy agave core; a medium-long finish with gentle peppery spice fading into toasted oak, caramel, and a clean agave echo.
How to Enjoy
Neat in a snifter or a rocks glass — this is a sipping anejo, not a shot. A large cube softens the pepper without muting the agave.
