Caramba Anejo Tequila
Caramba Anejo Tequila is a 750mL anejo aged a full two years — double the class minimum — in Scotch whisky barrels. The whisky-seasoned oak turns the tequila amber and layers malt-adjacent depth over the agave, for a sipping tequila aimed squarely at cognac and single-malt drinkers. Order it online at Del Mesa Liquor in San Diego, CA.

Two Years in Scotch Whisky Barrels
An anejo earns its name at one year in oak; Caramba gives this one two, and chooses its barrels from the whisky world. Scotch-seasoned casks bring a different spice and malt depth than the bourbon barrels most anejo sees, darkening the tequila to amber and rounding it into the smooth, complex register the brand aims at drinkers of cognac and single malt Scotch. It sits one step below the house's Extra Anejo, which rests four to six years in charred oak. Browse the range on the Caramba vendor page.
Tasting Notes
An enticing aroma of cooked agave, vanilla and toasted oak with a whisky-barrel warmth; the palate is smooth and rich — caramel, dried fruit and gentle spice — and the finish is long and soft.
How to Enjoy
Neat in a snifter, or over one large cube. Whisky drinkers will find the Scotch-barrel character familiar territory; tequila drinkers get an anejo with an extra gear. The range's summit is the Extra Anejo; explore both in our tequila collection.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long is Caramba Anejo aged?
Two years in Scotch whisky barrels — twice the one-year minimum the anejo class requires.
Why Scotch whisky barrels?
The seasoned oak adds a malt-and-spice depth distinct from bourbon-barrel aging, and tilts the tequila toward the flavour register of aged whisky and cognac.
What is the difference between Caramba Anejo and Extra Anejo?
Time and wood: the Anejo rests two years in Scotch whisky barrels; the Extra Anejo rests four to six years in charred oak and pours darker and richer.
