Aureo Extra Anejo Tequila
Aureo Extra Anejo Tequila is a 750mL extra añejo tequila from Jalisco, Mexico (NOM 1591) — by Mexican law an extra añejo ages at least three years in oak, and this one arrives in a square glass decanter with an etched front, a leather neck tag and a glass stopper. It is the longest-aged class of tequila, poured dark amber from its years in barrel. Order it online at Del Mesa Liquor.

The Longest Rest Tequila Allows
Extra añejo is tequila's senior category — a classification Mexico only formalised in 2006 for spirits aged three years or more in oak — and Aureo's entry is built entirely around that patience. The brand publishes little about itself: no founding story, no estate claims, no barrel program on record. What is verifiable is the framework — a NOM 1591 production in central Jalisco (Agave Matchmaker lists the brand in production there) and the legal weight of the words "extra añejo" on the etched glass: at least three full years in barrel stand behind the dark amber colour in this decanter. The bottle does the rest of the talking — square-cut glass, an etched AUREO front, a stamped leather neck tag. Browse the brand on the Aureo vendor page.
Tasting Notes
The brand publishes no official tasting note. Its US distributor describes a semi-sweet profile of chocolate and vanilla with a smooth finish, credited to the long barrel aging — the register expected of a three-plus-year extra añejo, where oak sweetness moves ahead of the agave.
How to Enjoy
Extra añejo is a neat pour: a stemmed glass, room temperature, time. Treat it like a fine cognac or an aged rum — a decanter bottle built for the end of the evening. More long-aged agave is in our tequila collection.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long is Aureo Extra Anejo aged?
As an extra añejo under NOM-006, at least three years in oak. The brand states no more specific age for this bottling, so no higher number can be claimed for it.
Where is Aureo tequila made?
In Jalisco, Mexico, under NOM 1591 (central Jalisco, per Agave Matchmaker's brand index). The distillery name behind that NOM could not be verified at regulator tier in this pass, so it is not printed here.
What is the difference between añejo and extra añejo?
Aging law: an añejo rests at least one year in oak; an extra añejo at least three. The longer rest brings a darker colour and a sweeter, more oak-led flavour.
