Caramba Extra Anejo Tequila
Caramba Extra Anejo Tequila is a 750mL extra anejo aged well past its class minimum: where extra anejo requires three years in oak, Caramba rests this tequila for four to six years in specially selected charred oak barrels. The long sleep turns it mahogany-dark and cognac-smooth — the top of the Caramba range, built for slow sipping. Order it online at Del Mesa Liquor in San Diego, CA.

Four to Six Years in Charred Oak
Extra anejo is tequila's oldest legal class — anything aged beyond three years — and Caramba treats the minimum as a starting point. Four to six years in charred oak pulls the spirit steadily away from bright agave toward the dark-fruit, cocoa and polished-wood register of a fine cognac, until the brand itself notes the two become hard to tell apart. That is the intent: an extra anejo for drinkers who come from the world of aged brandy and single malt and want tequila at the same depth. Browse the range on the Caramba vendor page.
Tasting Notes
Dark and rich from the long oak rest: dried fruit, cocoa, caramelised sugar and warm spice over a deep, smooth agave base, with a long, soft finish that stays on the wood and dark sweetness.
How to Enjoy
Neat in a snifter or a stemmed tasting glass, at room temperature, given time to open — treat it exactly as you would a cognac. A single large cube is the only addition it needs. More long-aged tequilas are in our tequila collection.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a tequila "extra anejo"?
Age: an extra anejo must rest in oak for more than three years. Caramba ages this bottling four to six years — well beyond the class floor.
How does Caramba Extra Anejo taste compared to the Anejo?
Darker, richer and more wood-driven. The Anejo's two years in Scotch casks keep more agave brightness; the Extra Anejo's four to six years move it toward cognac-like dark fruit and cocoa.
Should extra anejo be mixed?
It is a sipping tequila — years in charred oak are the flavour. Pour it neat; save the cocktails for the younger expressions.
